The Facts: Some Patriots players have already returned to the area, getting a head start on their quarantine, with Michel falling into that category. Reported by ESPN.com

Diehards Line: He is recovering from offseason surgery on his foot, and as a rehabbing player is allowed to use the team's facilities, which he's been taking advantage of for several weeks now. Michel posted a picture on his Instagram that shows him without a walking boot. We'll continue to watch for more.

The Facts: Pryor was out of the NFL last year, but he says he’s had conversations with multiple teams about returning to the league in 2020. Pryor told TMZ Sports that he’s spoken with five teams about resuming a career that hit a couple of snags. The first came when the Jaguars cut him from injured reserve last September and the second came when Pryor was stabbed by a woman during an altercation last November that led to both being charged by authorities. “I can still play,” Pryor said. “And, I can still make plays and dominate. I know that.” Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Pryor said the Patriots are one of the teams he’s spoken to and he expressed interest in playing for them or the Steelers. Pryor had 77 catches for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns for the Browns in 2016, but only managed 36 catches for 492 yards and three touchdowns during stints with Washington, the Jets and Bills in 2017 and 2018.

The Facts: The Eagles have punished Jackson. They're also keeping him on the team, conditionally. The club announced Friday it has fined the wide receiver "for conduct detrimental to the team," which included a series of controversial posts on Instagram and sharing an image of a quote falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler earlier this week. Reported by NFL.com

Diehards Line: The Eagles' statement noted that Jackson, who has since offered multiple public apologies, "must also commit to supporting his words with actions" in order to remain with the Eagles. The Eagles quickly deemed Jackson's messages "offensive, harmful, and absolutely appalling" while noting they would further evaluate the situation. Jackson subsequently deleted the posts and offered several apologies. The club said it has since come up with "a concrete plan" for how to move forward with Jackson but didn't specify what he must do to stay on the team. The 33-year-old wideout missed all but three games last season because of injury after signing a three-year, $27 million contract to return to Philly in 2019.

The Facts: Henry doesn’t expect to get a long-term deal before Wednesday’s deadline. “I don’t think anything will get done, but we’ll see,” Henry told Gilbert Manzano of the Southern California News Group on Friday. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Henry already has signed the $10.6 million franchise tender. Henry, 25, has never played all 16 games in a season and has seen action in only 41 of 64 games in his career. He sees 2020 as a prove-it year. “I’m not worried about it,” Henry said. “I’m just going to go out there. I get a chance to play this year and do my thing this year. I’m pretty locked in on what I got ahead of me in the 2020 season. That’s what I’m locked in for, you know, I don’t like to look too far ahead.” Henry, 25, spent most of May and June working out with rookie quarterback Justin Herbert and recently had throwing sessions with veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

The Facts: Moore did his part to help the Chiefs get to the Super Bowl last season by filling in for Patrick Mahomes after Mahomes injured his knee in an October game against the Broncos and he’ll get a chance to help their title defense this year. Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports that Moore has re-signed with the Chiefs. It’s a one-year deal and no other terms have been disclosed. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Moore signed with the Chiefs last August after Chad Henne hurt his ankle and made six overall appearances last season. Two of those appearances were starts, including a 26-23 win over the Vikings in Week Nine. Moore was 59-of-91 for 659 yards and four touchdowns. Henne returned to the active roster after an injured reserve stint last year and re-signed with the Chiefs earlier this year. They also have Jordan Ta'amu on the roster. Shea Patterson was released to clear a spot for Moore's return.

The Facts: Breida is starting anew in 2020 after his three-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers came to a close this offseason when the club traded him to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a fifth-rounder. This latest landing spot is poised to give Breida more of an opportunity to blossom in the league, but his future in Miami beyond this season is still a bit murky. The 25-year-old, who has recently moved to South Florida, and the Dolphins have yet to have discussions of a contract extension, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Reported by CBSSports.com

Diehards Line: Breida is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is set to make $3.3 million, but the back would undoubtedly like to see some long-term security as well. Jackson notes that, because of the uncertainty surrounding the 2021 salary cap due to league revenues likely taking some sort of hit due to the coronavirus, the club has held off on handing extensions to some of their top unrestricted free agents next offseason, including Breida. Miami did ink Jordan Howard to a two-year deal this offseason so he is locked in beyond this season, but the club could rather easily get out from under that contract after 2020 and could clear $5 million off the cap if they cut him next offseason. With that in mind, Howard doesn't appear to be a lock for the Dolphins backfield outside of 2020, which does leave the door open for Breida to expand his role even more. In 13 games played (five starts) during the regular season in 2019, Breida was able to rush for 623 yards on 5.1 yards per carry and caught 19 of his 22 targets for 120 yards. He was also able to find the end zone twice.

The Facts: Newton is already trying to build chemistry with his new wide receivers. A little over a week after hitting the field with Mohamed Sanu, Newton was throwing with N’Keal Harry in Los Angeles. Reported by MassLive.com

Diehards Line: Newton’s deal to join the Patriots became official Wednesday night, as the former MVP passed his physical and all systems are go. Though these workouts are good for building familiarity — something Newton obviously needs given the abbreviated offseason — they don’t have the blessing of the NFL Players Association. Still, Newton and his new teammates aren't alone in this and it's hard to complain -- at least from a fantasy perspective -- with establishing chemistry.

The Facts: The Titans have less than a week to negotiate a long-term contract with Henry, or the NFL's rushing leader will be playing on the franchise tag in 2020. HC Mike Vrabel said Thursday that patience is key in getting any long-term solution. "Derrick signed his franchise tender, he's under contract," Vrabel said. "I know that (GM) Jon (Robinson) and (VP of football administration) Vin Marino have been in contact with his reps. Having been involved with the NFL for a lot of years, getting deals done is about being patient, hopefully keeping them private and confidential. So I'm going to try to respect that, and understand that we love Derrick and he understands how important he is to our football team. Again, his leadership that grew last year, I'm looking forward, I know our team is looking for more of that this year." Reported by NFL.com

Diehards Line: Henry signed his $10.278 million franchise tag tender in April, meaning the running back won't be missing any training camp time. Robinson noted last month the team was working towards a multi-year deal, but with six days left to get one done, time is running short. The Titans offense revolved around Henry in 2019, as the bruising runner led the NFL with 1,540 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns on 303 carries. He also added 446 yards and two TDs in three playoff games as Tennessee made a run to the AFC Championship Game.

The Facts: Miller is getting up to speed ahead of the 2020 season. The former Houston Texans starting RB who missed all of the 2019 campaign with a torn ACL posted a video running and cutting. Reported by NFL.com

Diehards Line: Miller blew out his ACL in a preseason game last year in Dallas. It was doubly painful as the Texans lead back was in the final year of his contract in Houston. He was in line for a heavy workload last year before the tear ruined that plan. The Texans moved on from Miller, having traded for David Johnson to pair with Duke Johnson. Among free-agent options like Devonta Freeman, LeSean McCoy, Bilal Powell, Isaiah Crowell, etc., Miller could prove a difference-maker in a backfield if he's healthy -- and could cost less than someone like Freeman. In three years in Houston before the knee injury, the 29-year-old compiled 2,934 yards on 716 carries with 19 TDs. Given the offseason restrictions on physicals and the nature of Miller's injury, he might have to wait well into training camp -- and possibly for an injury to strike elsewhere -- to prove he's back to full form. The videos he's posted recently, however, show a baseline for optimism.

The Facts: It’s officially official: Newton is a member of the Patriots. The quarterback passed his physical and signed his deal, with the team announcing the transaction Wednesday. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Diehards Line: Newton, 31, was released by the Panthers on March 24. He remained on the open market until agreeing to terms on a one-year, incentive-laden deal on June 28. Newton, who recently posted he was tired of being humble, will compete with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer for the starting job in New England. With a league MVP and a Super Bowl start, Newton is the favorite to win the job. ... If healthy.
