NAPA Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Charles Woodson took a break from overseeing his winery in the Napa Valley to visit the Oakland Raiders training camp Thursday. Peyton Manning was there, too, while in the midst of a speaking tour.The two future Hall-of-Famers were all over the place, chatting with players and coaches and going over techniques as the Raiders went through their 2 1/2-hour workout.For Woodson, it was a step back in time. The nine-time Pro Bowl defensive back spent 11 seasons over two stints with the Raiders and was a rookie in 1998, Jon Gruden’s first year as an NFL coach.Now retired and an analyst for ESPN, the 41-year-old Woodson was a little startled when he walked onto the practice field and heard music blaring from a far corner.“I don’t remember that ever happening,” Woodson said, grinning. “I was just telling somebody, everybody’s talking about Gruden’s been out of the game, he’s out of touch. Actually he’s not. He’s got a DJ. I think he’s fitting right in.”Although his beard is filled with more gray than ever, Woodson — who last played in 2015 when he earned Pro Bowl recognition as a safety — still looks physically capable of playing in the NFL.Not long after Gruden was hired in the offseason to return to the Raiders, he joked that he might try to convince Woodson to come out of retirement.Woodson laughed at the thought but said Gruden isn’t much different than he was when he first coached the Raiders 20 years ago.“I remember coming in seeing a young fiery Jon Gruden and he seems to have that same thing going on,” Woodson said. “It’s going to be great for the players to have a guy with that kind of energy back on the sidelines. I think it’s going to be a fun year. It’s going to be a process, of course. You have to get guys to buy into what you’re selling. If they do that they’ll be fine.”One player not in camp is defensive end Khalil Mack, who is holding out in a contract dispute.Woodson was in a similar position in 2004 and 2005 when he held out in training camp looking for a new deal. Each year, the Raiders hit him with the franchise tag.Woodson said he has spoken with Mack and encouraged the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year to stay in shape while negotiations continue.“He’s a young guy that’s trying to get paid and I don’t fault any man for that,” Woodson said. “Now, every team’s going to have their limits of what they feel they can do and what they won’t do. You have to navigate that. He’s a smart enough guy Bo Jackson Jersey , he’ll figure it out.“I just told him, `Whenever you come back. I don’t know what happens with your deal, if you get a new deal or if you’re playing on the same deal, when you come back come back ready.’ You don’t want anybody saying anything crazy about your conditioning and all of this sort of thing.”Manning attended camp while in the Bay Area for a speaking engagement in San Francisco. He phoned Gruden to ask if he could come out to practice then spent the afternoon chatting with Derek Carr and quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan.“Being a football junkie, Jon and I kind of speak the same language,” Manning said. “I know he’s happy. Good for football that he’s back in the game.”Gruden put both men to work.Woodson spoke to the players during a team meeting while Manning sat in during the quarterbacks meeting, watched film and offered his own tips.Manning specifically spoke at length with Carr, Oakland’s veteran quarterback who is learning his third system in four years.“I really like Derek,” Manning said. “He is very engaged and obviously trying to learn a new system, which is a challenge. But one thing about Jon Gruden is he loves football so everybody playing for him better love it too. When your QB loves it, and you can tell Carr does, it shows.”—— No helicopter swooping in for a wind-swept landing. No Rolls Royce wrapped in black-and-gold complete with a chauffeur in full uniform.No firetrucks or random all-terrain vehicles either.The 2019 version of the Pittsburgh Steelers reported to training camp at Saint Vincent College on Thursday by significantly toning down the kitschy theatrics that had become a staple in recent years thanks to the tricked-out rides of former stars Antonio Brown, James Harrison and Brett Keisel.OK, so maybe cornerback Joe Haden did pull up to Rooney Hall in a white Rolls Royce. And sure, wide receiver Eli Rogers rode shotgun on a tractor trailer before hopping out while wearing overalls with a green reflective shirt underneath and work boots on his feet while carrying a barbell.But that was about as weird as it got. And that's kind of the point.Following a December swoon that dropped them out of playoff contention and a bumpy offseason in which Brown pouted his way into a trade to Oakland and two years of drama surrounding running back Le'Veon Bell's status ended with Bell signing with the New York Jets , the Steelers know a hard reset is in order.Less flash. More football."It's about performing," Haden said. "It's about what we do on the field. So it'll get louder there when we put some pads on, make some noise but that's what it's about. It's about what we can do on the field, not what we can do off."Pittsburgh spent the opening hours of camp continuing a series of pragmatic decisions made over the past few months focusing solely on how to get back to the postseason minus Bell and Brown and with a handful of new faces on defense.Coach Mike Tomlin agreed to a one-year extension that runs through 2021 https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , a deal that should — at least temporarily — to put to rest any speculation on his long-term job status. Cornerback Mike Hilton signed his exclusive rights tender rather than risk a holdout. Haden is "optimistic" agent Drew Rosenhaus can iron out a new deal with Pittsburgh before the regular season begins.It all felt, well, kind of normal."I just like that everyone's happy," center Maurkice Pouncey said. "Everyone's at a happy place. Even if they're not here they're all happy, so all of the stuff has gone away now. The feelings are gone and everyone can just be happy and move on."Or, at least in Tomlin's case, making sure they stay in place.The Steelers have long made a habit of extending the contracts of prominent franchise figures — be it the general manager, head coach or franchise quarterback — with two years left on their deals. Tomlin still has two seasons left on the extension he signed in 2017. Extending him through 2021 — Tomlin said the deal does include an option for 2022 — assures it coincides with the end of the deal quarterback Ben Roethlisberger signed in the spring.It also, in a way, underscores a sense of urgency in an organization that hasn't reached the Super Bowl in nearly a decade despite having one of the most dynamic offenses in the league.Tomlin is 125-66-1 with two Super Bowl appearances and one championship in 12 seasons. Yet the Steelers have won just three playoff games since their most recent AFC title in 2010 and Brown's ugly departure led to plenty of back-and-forth — particularly on social media — on the culture in the locker room and who deserved blame for the team's highly public divorce with Brown.It grew so caustic at one point that veterans such as Pouncey and Ramon Foster urged their teammates to put their phones away."Nobody cares about the cleanup," Foster said. "They only care about what's initially said. That's usually the bad stuff in the beginning. At a certain point you got tired of hearing it because you know it wasn't true or 'This guy wasn't as bad as they made him to be,' or 'This team, this locker room, these coaches aren't what you're making them out to be.' All those guys got their turn at saying what they wanted to. And with that, it just came to a head and we were like come on guys you've been here."The messaging must have worked. The talk as players carried luggage, fans, speakers and electronics into cramped dorm rooms for the next three weeks centered more on substance and less on style.The Steelers understand expectations are lower with Brown and Bell gone. They know the retooled Cleveland Browns have the swagger and the Baltimore Ravens have the bragging rights as reigning AFC North champions. It hasn't been that way in a division they've largely dominated for a long time.Maybe that's not a bad thing."Not a lot of people are saying that we're going to be good," Pouncey said. "I always like being the underdog. Ever since I've been playing football I've always been the underdog so maybe that's the best way to be."NOTE: The team placed outside linebacker T.J. Watt on the physically unable to perform list after Watt experienced tightness in his hamstrings during the mandatory run test late Thursday afternoon.
