A league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora on Thursday that the extension also alters the final three years of Woodson's existing contract. As a result, Woodson could earn as much as $55 million over the next five seasons.

Woodson, 33, was set to receive roughly $6.5 million in base salary, plus a $900,000 roster bonus, during each of the next three years for a total of $22.2 million. In the new deal, Woodson's 2010 salary remains unchanged, but he will average about $11 million per season in 2011 and 2012, then have salaries of $10 million in each of the final two seasons.

Woodson, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, is entering his fifth season with the Packers after spending eight with the Oakland Raiders.

"The mission at this point is to retire here," Woodson said. "It's a big deal."

And Woodson wants to bring a championship to Green Bay before it's all over.

"I mean, we've got it here," Woodson said. "We've got the players to get it done. We've got the coaching staff to get it done. It's all going to rest on our shoulders, on the players to go out there and get it done. Our mission as a team is to get there and I think we can do it."
