Newman back with Vikes for 16th NFL season
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings made several critical moves in their secondary on Monday.
The team announced Terence Newman will return for his 16th season, hours after the it exercised the fifth-year option on cornerback Trae Waynes, putting him under contract through 2019.
Newman, who became a free-agent in March, said he wanted to come back for another shot at a championship after the Vikings season ended in the NFC title game.
The move is an important depth addition for the league's No. 1 defense and backs Mike Zimmer's philosophy that a team can never have too many cornerbacks.
