Ian Rapoport just confirmed that the Packers are about to release Charles Woodson from his contract.
Is Charles Woodson retiring now that he's cut? "I just talked to him. He sounds like he has a lot of football left" — agent Carl Poston

Woodson, who was moved from Cornerback to Safety, was due to earn $9 million in 2013 between base salary and roster bonuses plus an additional $62,500 for each game in which he was active.Woodson has no more guarantees or prorated money left on his contract as he primarily played on a cash to cap basis for the Packers most of these years, so it creates a cap windfall for Green Bay. We’ll get the cap pages updated when the release become official.
