    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>(April 3, 2006) -- One way or another, it now looks like cornerback Charles Woodson is going to wind up by the Bay -- either Green Bay or Tampa Bay.Woodson spent today visiting Green Bay. One Packers official said the team has a "significant interest" in signing the former Raiders cornerback. It should.The Packers need another cornerback to start opposite Al Harris, and signing him would allow Green Bay to move its 2004 first-round pick Ahmad Carroll to nickel back.Charles Woodson was named to four Pro Bowl squads early in his career, but recent injuries have given GMs pause.Then there is this factor, which could well be the deciding factor in where Woodson winds up: The Packers still have a bushel of salary-cap room available, whereas Tampa Bay does not.Green Bay's biggest offseason moves were re-signing defensive end Aaron Kampman and running back Ahman Green, but just as notable, the team also lost kicker Ryan Longwell and center Mike Flanagan.An NFL executive believes the Packers are feeling the pressure of signing a high-profile productive free agent, and there just aren't many more out there. Woodson is one of the last men standing. His addition would be a boost to the Packers roster and Green Bay's morale, especially while it awaits Brett Favre's decision.And no one knows when Favre finally will announce his decision, but the football world is almost assured of hearing something this week.Favre is hosting his annual golf tournament April 6-9 in Tunica, Miss. Tunica could be just the town and time for Favre to say, as many Packers officials expect, that the quarterback would like to return for one more season -- his last. Favre is expected to attend his golf tournament, and Packers fans would like to know whether their quarterback can be expected in Green Bay.</div>http://nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9355639

    I wish we (DC) had him come in for a visit...If the guy wants to win he should definitely go to TB. I'm sure he was getting tired of losing in Oakland..

    In TB, he'd probably play saftey, and I doubt he wants that. He can always play CB for tha Rams if he'll play VERY cheap [​IMG] . Haha...Charles Woodson playing cheap.

    I doubt GB signs both or either of them. No one wants to play on a team that can't keep players happy.

    Tampa sounds like a better fit for him.
