The Raiders are scheduled to meet with free agent cornerback Terence Newman on Thursday.
Newman, who turns 35 in October, had 75 tackles and two interceptions with the Bengals last season, his first with the team. You probably remember Newman mostly from hating him during his time with the Cowboys, with whom he spent the first nine years of his career. In 10 years, Newman has 34 interceptions.
Newman could be a solid addition for a Raiders secondary that is so depleted and desperate that it’s looking to a running back for help.
And I know it might be hard for some of you, but how about we save our Seinfeld jokes for when the Raiders actually sign him.
