It appears that Woodson is more interested in earning his living in the media world than staying in the locker room and on the sidelines right now. After a long career it is hard to see Woodson buying into the long hours of being a coach in the NFL anytime soon. Never say never, but fans are likely dreaming of Woodson becoming a coach as the Raiders legend has a nice spot with ESPN that would be hard to pass up.
