Newman says this is his final shot @ SB Title...

The fact Newman remained unsigned until April 30 wasn’t because of any second thoughts on his part about playing this season, he said. Rather, it took some time for Newman to get a deal done for 2018, and he added he had a “situation at home” that required his attention. Newman would not discuss the situation any further but said it was resolved now.
He returned to the team’s facility Monday for the start of offseason workouts, as the Vikings prepare to add first-round pick Mike Hughes to a defensive back group that includes four other former first-rounders (Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes, Trae Waynes and Newman) and a second-rounder.
That, coupled with the Vikings’ offseason moves to add quarterback Kirk Cousins and defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, had Newman hopeful about the team’s chances to capture the prize that so far has eluded him.
“Super Bowls: That’s what’s important to me,” Newman said. “We had a good team last year, and the things they did in the draft and free agency, obviously on paper, we got better. You would hope, once you see the actual games, that yes, the team did get better, you know? The only way to really tell if this team did get better is to win games. 13-3, that was cool, but that’s over. You have to go out and prove it again.”
He hopes to head into retirement after holding up his first Lombardi Trophy in Atlanta this February, but either way, Newman said he knows it’s time.
