Defensive back Charles Woodson signed with the Oakland Raiders on a one-year deal after his time in Green Bay came to an end. His final season with the Packers was plagued with injuries. Woodson returned to form to an extent and has had a good season with the Raiders, which leads to the question: Will he be back in 2014?

“I want to play again,” Woodson said in an interview with 95.7 The Game, via CSNBayArea.com. “I think this is the only place that I would play. I do plan on coming back and playing for the Raiders. If that didn’t happen, then I think I would have to decide if I want to go somewhere else for another year. If I’m wanted here, I’m coming back.”

You’d think the Raiders would keep him around as long as he was producing on the field. It is just one less position of need to address and he can impart some of his veteran wisdom on younger players as they try to turn things around.

“I’ve just been enjoying my time back here,” Woodson said. “Regardless of what our record is right now, it’s been great to put on the silver and black and play at the Coliseum. The fans and the love they’ve shown has been great. All I want to do is win and win for the fans.”
