    The http://www.vikingscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-tom-compton-jersey , will join Vikings coaching staff We have just received word that Minnesota Vikings cornerback Terence Newman has announced his retirement from the NFL and that he will immediately be joining the team’s coaching staff.Newman, who turns 40 in just three days, was set to be the oldest defensive player in the National Football League this season. He came back on a one-year contract that he signed this offseason, proclaiming that this was going to be his final year in the NFL.Newman came to the Vikings in 2015, and played in 47 of 48 possible games as a member of the team. He had shown the flexibility to play both cornerback and safety over the course of the time he was here, and the indications to this point had been that he was going to continue to fill that role for the team going forward.Newman didn’t see a whole lot of time this preseason http://www.thevikingsfootballauthentic.com/rashod-hill-jersey-authentic , and with the glut of young talent the Vikings have in the defensive backfield, Newman apparently thought it was time to hang up his cleats.Newman also has a long relationship with Mike Zimmer, going back to his days with the Dallas Cowboys. It’s not a surprise that he will be joining the Vikings’ coaching staff, though it has not been declared in exactly what capacity he will be serving at the present time.We would like to congratulate Terence Newman on a long and successful NFL career, and here’s hoping that he can sustain that success as a coach on the Minnesota sidelines. We will no doubt have more discussion of this over the next few days.Vikings Roster Cuts: Minnesota Vikings release Jack Tocho There are still a handful of roster cuts to be made by the Minnesota Vikings as they pare their roster down to 53. It sounds like another member of the team’s defensive backfield is going to be moving on.Our friends over at Vikings Territory are reporting that defensive back Jack Tocho will not be on the 53-man roster, but that the team hopes to bring him back to the practice squad.Tocho was a seventh-round pick of the Vikings in the 2017 NFL Draft Womens Laquon Treadwell Jersey , and was released from and re-signed to the team’s practice squad several times last season. He has split time between safety and cornerback, and spent most of his time this preseason at the cornerback spot. He had an up-and-down preseason, and it says something that the team likes him enough to try to bring him back.By our count, the Vikings now have 59 players on their roster, and they have a little less than an hour and a half to cut that number down to 53. We will be keeping track of all the moves right here.
