Raiders Icon Charles Woodson Returns as Co-Owner to Lead From the Front

Oct 8, 2025

The Las Vegas Raiders are turning a new page in their storied history. This week, reports confirmed that franchise legend Charles Woodson has officially purchased a stake in the team, returning to Allegiant Stadium as a co-owner.

Few defensive backs in NFL history have embodied excellence like Woodson. With 65 interceptions, 33 forced fumbles, and 20 sacks, the Hall of Famer redefined the position and helped set the standard for the modern Raiders defense — versatility, intelligence, and relentless pursuit.

Woodson’s bond with Las Vegas has always reached beyond football. From youth initiatives to leadership clinics, he built a reputation for showing up for the community, mentoring the next generation with the same focus that made him a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021 and a member of the Raiders Hall of Fame/Ring of Honor, Woodson is cemented as one of the franchise’s most beloved figures. Now he returns not only as a hero of the past, but as an architect of the future.

He’s no stranger to the business side of sports and media. Post-retirement, Woodson built a portfolio that spans broadcasting, wine production, and tech investments — experience he now brings back to Las Vegas, where he’ll work alongside Mark Davis and the front office to shape the Raiders’ identity for the years ahead.

The move signals as much a cultural reset as a business decision. Fans across X and Facebook erupted with excitement, calling it a “homecoming done right” and a chance for Woodson to lead again — this time from the boardroom instead of the secondary.

For Woodson, the message is simple: whether intercepting passes or crafting strategy, leadership travels. And for Raider Nation, the idea of their greatest defensive back helping guide the future feels like destiny meeting design.
