09/09/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Green Bay Packers have reportedly given cornerback Charles Woodson a contract extension.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the two sides have agreed to the deal and ESPN.com reports that Woodson will have two years tacked on to his existing three-year pact. He will be under contract with the Packers through the 2014 season.
Woodson, who turns 34 in October, is the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He has been with the Packers for the past four seasons after spending his first eight years in Oakland with the Raiders.
Last season, he totaled 74 tackles, two sacks, four forced fumbles, 18 passes defensed and nine interceptions, which tied for the NFL lead with three other players. He also scored three touchdowns.
A Heisman Trophy winner with Michigan in 1997, Woodson has totaled 717 tackles, 147 passes defensed, 11 1/2 sacks and 45 interceptions over his career. He has also forced 22 fumbles and has found the end zone nine times over 168 games.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
