Bengals agreed to terms with CB Terence Newman, formerly of the Cowboys.

The 33-year-old isn't known to have visited any teams other than Cincinnati. It's fair to wonder if he will receive any guaranteed money after getting routinely toasted down the stretch last season. Although he's a favorite of DC Mike Zimmer, Newman will have to compete with Jason Allen and Pacman Jones for snaps behind Nate Clements and Leon Hall.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the Bengals are "working to add" free agent Terence Newman.

Speaking at the owners meetings Tuesday, coach Marvin Lewis said the Bengals would "love" to sign Newman. He would be reuniting with DC Mike Zimmer in Cincinnati, who held the same position with the Cowboys when they made Newman the fifth overall pick of the 2003 draft. One of the league's worst corners in 2011, Newman has received no other known interest in free agency.

ESPN Dallas' Bryan Broaddus "hears" that free agent CB Terence Newman will visit the Bengals.

Cowboys released CB Terence Newman.

The oft-injured 32-year-old didn't stand a chance of seeing his scheduled $6 million salary after being toasted routinely throughout the final two months of the season. The Cowboys will use the cap savings to target free agents Cortland Finnegan and Brandon Carr. Newman may have to take an incentive-laden deal on the open market.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes LCB Terence Newman "could be good value" in 2012, but admits "there has been a difference in his play."

The main "difference" in Newman's play last season was that he got burned even more than he did in 2010. Jones' comments suggest Dallas might be willing to bring Newman back for 2012 if he's willing to take a pay-cut from his current scheduled salary of $6.016 million, but the odds remain high he's released. The Cowboys can save $4 million in cap space by cutting Newman before June 1, but $6 million if they can wait.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted Monday LCB Terence Newman will likely be released.

"In the secondary, I think we'll get better," Jones said. "We'll very likely have new faces over there. How many, I can't tell you. But I know we'll have some new faces." The Cowboys can free up $4 million in cap space by releasing Newman before June 1, and $6 million if they can wait until June. Newman was absolutely brutal in coverage this season, and graded out as one of the league's worst cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus.

Updating a previous item, the Cowboys can save $6 million in salary cap space by waiting until after June 1 to release CB Terence Newman.

The savings is $4 million if they cut Newman before that date. The Cowboys could get the move out of the way early if they want cap space during free agency, but it's also possible that Dallas will hold onto Newman's rights into the summer. That wouldn't be a good development for Newman's free agent stock.

The Cowboys can save $4 million in salary cap space by releasing LCB Terence Newman this offseason.

Newman's 2012 cap number is $8 million, and Dallas can slice that number in half by cutting him. According to ESPN Dallas, the Cowboys "would love" for Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick to fall to them in April's draft. The Cowboys draft 14th overall. In 2011, Newman graded out as Pro Football Focus' 102nd-rated cornerback in coverage amongst the 109 who qualified.

ESPN Dallas suggests LCB Terence Newman may have played his last game as a Cowboy.

Newman is under contract through 2014, but was a major liability in both man and zone coverage all season. He's owed $6 million in guaranteed money next season and is under contract through 2014. Nickel corner Orlando Scandrick is a candidate to move into a starting role.

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman was forced from Sunday night's game against the Giants with a shoulder injury.

Newman smashed his right shoulder into the turf in the process of missing a tackle on Hakeen Nicks in the fourth quarter. Orlando Scandrick has come on in relief. Newman was having a horrendous night before going down, getting burned by Victor Cruz on a 74-yard touchdown and hurtled two separate times by plodding Giants TE Bear Pascoe.

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman is being tested for a possible concussion.

It's one step forward, two steps back for the Cowboys' talented left corner. He suited up last night for the first time since pulling his groin in early August, but was forced to leave in the fourth quarter. "Looks like he had some concussion there. He looked alert, and I don't have a report on him," said owner Jerry Jones.

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman left Monday's Week 3 game against Washington early in the fourth quarter.

No word yet on the nature or the severity of the injury. Newman was replaced by Alan Ball. We'll let you know when we get an update.

Terence Newman returned to practice Thursday for the first time since pulling his groin on August 3.

Newman has been chomping at the bit and figures to immediately return to his starting left corner role. It's a little hit to Rex Grossman's outlook as the Cowboys were previously playing without both Newman and Orlando Scandrick (ankle).

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman (groin) said he will play in Monday's game against the Redskins.

Newman hasn't even practiced since pulling his groin back on August 3. The Cowboys, who are off until Thursday, could certainly use him with Orlando Scandrick (ankle) sidelined.

Owner/GM Jerry Jones confirmed that LCB Terence Newman (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Terence Newman (groin) is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Niners.

Newman will not practice on Thursday, according to beat writer Matt Mosley. The Cowbobys will be awfully thin at corner this week, but Alex Smith won't test them anyway.

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman (groin) could return to practice Wednesday.

Newman has been out for more than a month but is finally running laterally and showing good burst on straight-line sprints. The Cowboys will need him with Orlando Scandrick (ankle) sidelined and Mike Jenkins (shoulder, knee) banged up.

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman (groin) has been ruled out for Week 1.

Orlando Scandrick will start in his place against the Jets, and has a nightmare matchup in Santonio Holmes. Newman's status for Week 2 against the 49ers is unclear, but if he's still not 100 percent it's unlikely the Cowboys will rush him back to face San Francisco's soft passing attack.

Cowboys LCB Terence Newman (groin) has reportedly been ruled out for the season opener against the Jets.

Newman was given a 4-6 week timetable in early August. It's no surprise that he's falling toward the latter estimate. Newman's absence is good news for Mark Sanchez and the Jets passing game, as Dallas' secondary was burnable in exhibition action.

The Cowboys expect LCB Terence Newman (groin) back before the season opener (September 11).

Newman was given a 4-6 week range on August 3. Said owner Jerry Jones Saturday, "The timetable was it would be close to the season opener, but he really is working hard to make progress. No one knows, but he's certainly at or above and beyond the level we had hoped he would be." Given Newman's extensive injury history, we won't believe any news regarding his "progress" until we see him on the field.
