The Green Bay Packers have signed CB Charles Woodson to a contract extension through 2014. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the signing Thursday.

Woodson was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year by The Associated Press in 2009, becoming only the second Packer to win the award (DE Reggie White, 1998). He posted a career-high nine interceptions, two sacks and four forced fumbles last season on the way to his sixth career Pro Bowl bid, and he also earned NFC Defensive Player of the Month honors three times in ’09. Woodson is the only NFL player to register seven interceptions and two sacks in back-to-back seasons (2008-09) since sacks became an official league statistic in 1982.

Acquired by Green Bay as an unrestricted free agent in 2006 after spending his first eight seasons with the Oakland Raiders, Woodson has recorded 28 of his 45 career interceptions during his four seasons with the Packers. He holds the Packers franchise record with eight defensive touchdowns (seven interceptions, one fumble return), and has posted seven or more interceptions in three of his four seasons in Green Bay, joining Bobby Dillon as the only players in team history to intercept seven or more passes in a season three times.

I am extremely happy to see that Woodson signed an extension. Hes been great for the Packers alongside Al Harris. Hes definably a Packer favorite. Lets see if he gets his first interception off Kevin Kolb this weekend.
