ESPN reports that the Green Bay Packers will release veteran defensive back Charles Woodson, a source familiar with the situation has told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Carl Poston, the agent for Woodson, first told NFL.com that the club would be releasing his client.  “They’re getting ready to release him. It’s part of the business,” Poston said. “I just talked to him. He sounds like he has a lot of football left. He’d like to play for a contender, win another Super Bowl.”

Some fans might see this as a shock but Woodson is another victim of the salary cap.  Woodson was set to make $9 million in 2013 and would count for $10 million against the Packers’ salary cap.

Will some team make a big splash and pick up Woodson? We’ll see.
