Considering Woodson, 28, received $8.7824 million in 2004 as the Raiders' exclusive franchise player -- a costly designation that prevented him from negotiating with any other team -- his new tag would cost the club in excess of $10.529 million.

For the first time since the beginning of the salary-cap era, cornerbacks have surpassed quarterbacks as the NFL's highest-paid players, according to figures supplied by the NFLPA. The NFL's top 10 cornerbacks received $69,379, 001. The league's 10 highest-paid quarterbacks received $68,310.662, a difference of close to $1.1 million.
