Before the 1998 NFL season began, the Oakland Raidershired Jon Gruden as their new head football coach.

For the 2004 and 2005 seasons, Woodson had played under the franchise tag. When he was injured in ‘05, that gave the Raiders an excuse to let him move on to a new team. Woodson was ready to leave Oakland and, given his play for the previous eight seasons, he was sure that teams would be clamoring for his services. He was incorrect. Gruden brought h...
All the teams that doubted Woodson and passed on him would be kicking themselves in 2006. That year, Woodson set the world on fire with one of the best seasons of his career.
