Patriots | Cam Newton drew rave review
New England Patriots QB Cam Newton's former offensive coordinator, Norv Turner, told Patriots head coach Bill Belichick that Newton was a great fit. 'My whole deal is, when Cam was healthy, and we were there with him [in 2018], we were 6-2,' Turner said. 'His issue was more health than anything else, and from what I understand, I don't think these are health issues that he can't overcome. He's had the time off now. I think he'll be great.'

NFL | Johnny Manziel likely done
Free-agent QB Johnny Manziel (Browns) admitted that his football career is likely in the past. 'In the past, probably, is the way I'd characterize it,' Manziel said, leaning forward and without a moment's hesitation. 'I've finally got to a point where I'm trying to achieve happiness in life, not happiness on the football field.'

Dolphins | Several WRs to compete for spots
Miami Dolphins WRs Allen Hurns, Gary Jennings and Isaiah Ford will be among the receivers to compete for one or two spots on the final roster.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins have DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Albert Wilson as their top three wide receivers. Behind them, Jakeem Grant should make the team due to his ability as a return man. That leaves one or two spots open for Hurns, Jennings or Ford. Jennings is learning multiple positions this offseason and certainly has the most upside of the three. Hurns is the seasoned veteran who is good for about 20 catches a year. Ford was thrust into a larger role over the last month of the 2019 season and finished with 21 catches over that four-game stretch. We'll see if that momentum helps him win a spot on the 53-man roster this year. |

Falcons | Qadree Ollison should have role
Atlanta Falcons RB Qadree Ollison could be used as a short yardage running back this upcoming season. He had four rushing touchdowns that were three yards or fewer in 2019.
| Footballguys view: Ollison may be no.4 on the depth chart right now, but he could quickly catapult to as high as no.2 by the end of training camp. Todd Gurley is the team's starter but if he can't stay healthy then the team will be looking for someone to be their lead back. That could be Ollison given his power, balance and burst that the others on the roster (Ito Smith, Brian Hill) don't have. We love him in dynasty formats and will keep him on waiver wire speed dial in redraft leagues. |
