Charles Woodson will be missed.**

"Charles was unbelievable, full of class, great teammate, top shelf leader in the locker room, showing guys what it looked like, how much the game meant to him, played through pain this year several games, shoulder, knee. He was an inspiration for our football team. Certain first ballot Hall of Famer. When a guy like that comes through the building, you understand you're dealing with one of the greats of the game and it was an honor having him."

Suspended linebacker Aldon Smith could still be in the mix for the Raiders defense.

"We've talked about it, thought about it, we'll continue to have conversations. He's got work to do on his personal life. It might make sense at some point, as he takes care of what he needs to take care of, that he could return. I think in his heart he's a good young man. Like all of us, we can all work to be better. My time around him, I enjoyed being around him, good teammate."

The Raiders have gotten many people's attention, including free agents around the league.

"I think Reggie spoke to that about it being a completely different feel from in particular two years ago. Last year we were pretty effective as well. This year certainly with the way we competed last year, the way Derek emerged, Khalil emerged, you could see some of the young talent, some of the culture we created made it a more appealing destination. It's a great brand. Raiders' tradition of excellence, tradition of winning football and the Super Bowl are something that guys are drawn to. Having the quarterback is huge. One of the things that made Denver a destination for a lot of guys was having Peyton in the building."

Coach Del Rio is encouraged by the start to Latavius Murray's role as the featured back.

"I would say that it was good. You get 1,000 yards it's an accomplishment, even though it doesn't mean quite what it did when you had 12 games, it's still a milestone to get 1,000 yards, it was solid. I think there's more out there, I think he's still just scratching the surface, there's a lot more upside, there's a lot more opportunities to break a tackle, to make a guy miss, to hit the hole just right. We would like to add somebody in the backfield at some point. It's not like it's a glaring need. We do have a good player there. Latavius' got great speed, he's a good young man, smart, understands protections, I think he can work on being more natural catching the ball. I think we'll be better creating holes and moving people out of the way."
