ALAMEDA – Charles Woodson’s a full-fledged member of the media now, fully allowed to ask questions in press conferences. The legendary Raiders defensive back and current ESPN analyst piped up with a good one Tuesday afternoon during Jon Gruden’s introduction as Silver and Black head coach.
“All of us here want to know,” Woodson yelled from the back, “is there a no-trade clause in your deal?”
That was a valid query, and topical considering how Gruden left the Raiders. Late owner Al Davis traded him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two first-round picks, two second-rounders and $8 million cash.
