Minnesota Vikings reach deal with Terence Newman

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran cornerback Terence Newman in a move which reunites him with coach Mike Zimmer.

The 13-year veteran has played a combined six seasons under Zimmer during stints at the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals during his career.

After leaving the Cowboys in 2011, Newman exceeded expectations by starting 41 games over the span of three years for Cincinnati.

The 36-year-old will compete with Josh Robinson behind starters Xavier Rhodes and Captain Munnerlyn next season, but is expected to be used sparingly.
