Terence Newman Will Retire from NFL, Join Vikings Coaching Staff
Veteran cornerback Terence Newman will retire from the NFL at the age of 39 after a 16-year career.
Per an official announcement from the Vikings on Saturday, Newman will join the team's coaching staff immediately.
Newman spent the past three seasons with the Vikings following stints with the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals.
He primarily served in a reserve role behind Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes in 2017, though he did make seven starts to help Minnesota reach the NFC Championship Game.
Newman was originally selected by the Cowboys with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft out of Kansas State.
