Newman re-signs with the Vikings.

so Newman and Waynes locked in today

My guess:

CB: Rhodes, Waynes, Alexander, Hughes, Hill, Newman as they give Marcus a chance after the 3rd preseason game to link up with a new team OR Newman can’t hang and moves to the Special assistant to the DB coqch position and they keep Marcus.

Did someone say we may try Hill at S or am I just making that up? This  is likely Sendejo's last year. We need some cheap talent in order to pay the young guys who are coming off their rookie deals.

Zimmer said a couple days ago that he's toying with the idea of playing 4 corners and 1 safety in nickel. Rhodes, Waynes, Hughes and Alexander (or Newman) is an embarrassment of riches at corner. So I think Hill's future is at safety.

Mac is still trying to figure out the nickel position. I get that it is difficult with lots of things happening in a confined space. Newman has seen it all so he can handle it . . . until the day comes when his body is too old to do what his mind is telling him to do.  I would see how  Hughes does inside.  Maybe he will just get it.  Then we can Newman and Mac back up all 3 spots. And Hill can learn the safety position and takeover next year.

That's great news.  Even if Newman doesn't play as much as he has the past two seasons, his mentorship to the young DBs on the roster is invaluable.

To think back prior to Zimmer, minus A. Winfield, this position was a position of embarrassment for a very long time, or perhaps it was the cover 2 that wasn't working.

now if we just had an OL we would be... INVINCIBLE!!!!
