Charles Woodson is no longer a member of the Raiders. He's no longer in the NFL. But he still has a spot in the Raiders' locker room.
According to Eddie Paskal, who works for the Raiders' official website, the team decided to leave Woodson's locker untouched after he cleaned it out for the final time. That's how much respect they have for him.

Woodson, drafted fourth overall by the Raiders in 1998, spent 11 of his 18 NFL years in Oakland. He spent the other seven years with the Packers, winning a Super Bowl with the team before returning to the Raiders.
In his career, he notched 65 interceptions -- tied for the fifth most in NFL history. He returned 11 of those for touchdowns -- the second most pick-sixes in NFL history.
So, when Woodson is eligible, he'll be a lock to make the Hall of Fame. Maybe he can hang his gold jacket in his Oakland locker.
