Terence Newman says deal is 'imminent,' wants a shot at 'winning a ring'
“The only reason I’m playing the game right now is because I want a ring. That’s the one thing I was so happy about DeMarcus (Ware, who announced his retirement Monday). He was able to get a ring and that’s the epitome. And that’s the thing that everybody wants to attain. Some guys might play for money. Some guys don’t love the game, but they love the money. Me? I love the game and I want a ring. That’s the reason I play.
“I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think I could win a ring. I wouldn’t try to play this game and go to a team that is ‘rebuilding’ or what have you. But the fact that I have an opportunity with a team that I know has a shot at winning a ring, that’s the part that, to me, is important. Because as an older player, you don’t want to be in a situation where you’re trying to do nothing but teach young guys. It gives me an opportunity to actually be able to teach young guys and be in a position where I can get a ring while playing.”
It’s worth speculating which team Newman might be on the verge of a deal with. Plenty of teams have needs in the secondary, but with Newman so confident that he’s got a chance at a championship, that narrows down the options quite a bit.
