FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots cornerback Charles Woods has been on a metaphorical roller-coaster ride since last week’s league-imposed 53-man roster deadline — a journey which would surprisingly take him coast-to coast.
After being waived by the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday, the 25-year-old awaited Wednesday’s waiver wire as he planned for the continuation of his NFL future. Much to his surprise, it was the Patriots, not the Rams, who would enlist his services by claiming him.
Though he largely expected to return to Los Angeles, Woods is excited to make the cross-country trek to southern New England.
