With the conclusion of the Oakland Raiders season, Charles Woodson is officially retired. He had mentioned in December that he had planned to retire at the end of the season.

The Raiders, which finished with a 7-9 record, saw Woodson have seven tackles in the game.

He spent 11 seasons overall with the Raiders. And seven seasons with the Packers.

Woodson played for the Raiders from 1998 through the 2005 season. He then joined the Packers for the 2006 season.

He was a member of their team through the 2012 season. Woodson then returned to the Raiders for the final three seasons, where he played from 2013 through 2015.

He appeared in 254 games, including 251 starts. The former Michigan Wolverines product had 1,220 tackles, including 54 tackles for a loss and 21 quarterback hits.

He had 20.0 sacks with his last sack coming in the 2014 season. He also had 65 interceptions, including 11 returned for a touchdown.
