Offseason
After some uncertainty, quarterback Brett Favre announced on April 26, 2006 that he would indeed return for the 2006–2007 season. The Packers also acquired Oakland Raiders three-time Pro Bowl Defensive Back Charles Woodson through free agency later that day. He officially signed with the team on May 9.
The Packers drafted Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft on April 29, 2006. The Packers also traded star wide receiver (and potential holdout) Javon Walker to the Denver Broncos for a second round pick, which they then traded for multiple picks.
