Newman signed a one-year contract to remain with Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newman was a free agent but will return to the Vikings. Although 37 last season, graded well in coverage. However, he could have a reduced role at age 38 as 2015 first-round draft pick Trae Waynes will compete for the starting job. Or Newman could shift to covering the slot with Captain Munnerlyn leaving to sign with the Panthers.
