Charles Woodson Reportedly Gets Two-Year Contract Extension From The Packers

The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year reportedly has a new contract.

Josina Anderson of FOX31 in Denver first reported that CB Charles Woodson and the Packers agreed on a contract extension. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it's a two-year extension meaning he's tied to the Packers for five more years.

Woodson is entering the fifth year of a seven-year, $52 million extension.

The years remaining on the contract are interesting because Woodson's age (34) makes it unlikely he'll be performing at such a high level for much longer. Then again, he was the best defensive player in the NFL just a year ago.

He had approximately $22 million remaining on his original contract. 

The deal is expected to be finalized on Thursday.

A report from the same FOX31 source came out several months ago that he was seeking a contract extension and Woodson denied it then.
