The Panthers contacted Charles Woodson's agent...HOWEVER

[PantherPhann89]

Wooson left Denver w/o a deal. Come to Charlotte where you can start and lead a secondary defense...

I would like to have him here too, for the right price. Let Lester play behind him at safety for a year. Great ball hawk skills. Wouldn't start him at CB tho.

Let's keep getting young and keep our money for next years free agency.

[mbarbour21]

We need to save money to pay Cam. Lol!

Kerry Rhodes is 31 but really played well last year

 

I have nothing against a person living whatever life they wish to, but I think teams are staying away from Rhodes due to the "gay" rumors. He's a solid safety, but I wonder if teams think a 31 year old that could be in the media quite a bit wouldn't be worth the potential headaches.

Just received another Charles Woodson update: "The Giants have just put their toe in the water again for Charles Woodson." --Carl Poston.

The only problem with him coming is he doesn't play SS.  Godfrey needs to stay at FS.  So in actuality, he isn't really an upgrade except his leadership ability (which we are assuming he is).

I don't give a damn about his sexual preference. If he would come cheap and provide an upgrade, bring him on.

Do professional ball players really have that Machismo attitude? I don't get how teams will stay away from a player just bc he's gay? People really just need to grow the hell up. I want to think that grown men can live past that. I don't know how any mature man can let that kind of issue affect a locker room.

[carolina-chuck]

Maybe Woodson can have a Darren Sharper affect for us like how Sharper had with the Saints his last couple years?

[jamos14]

No kidding, who cares if he is gay. If he is talented and cheap, bring him on.  I could see JR and Gettleman being a little hesitant because of the media circus that it could bring to the team if he ever came "out".  Could be distracting in a way like The Golden Calf of Bristol for a few weeks.

not sure why it was important to post those pics of rhodes, but whatever.

You would think people would have grown up enough to accept people for who they are, but I can't really speak from a players perspective. I'm sure opposing players would try to use it to get into the person's head though it is sad that people still don't accept someone's choice that doesn't hurt them.

I dont think it would be anywhere near bringing in Te-bow. Most people are open minded and rather stay away from such topic. There was no media attention with Rhodes ever at NYJ or Ariz.
