Jets- Mike FladellJets waived/failed physical OT Mike Fladell.
As the transaction suggests, Fladell didn't pass his physical.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus writes on his Twitter page that free agent Edgerrin James is "in great playing shape" and "excited about this season."
As NFL news slows to a halt, we always have Rosenhaus to count on for updates. James, who turns 31 in August, is reportedly down to 216 pounds. He's listed at 220. Edge may still have to wait for injuries to strike before finding a team, though with Brian Westbrook ailing Philly wouldn't be a bad fit.

Former Vikings receiver Cris Carter reportedly unleashed on a player he caught dozing off during Carter's speech at the Rookie Symposium.
Well, we know it wasn't Percy Harvin. Carter, the symposium's final speaker, reportedly told the rookie that, "if you don’t want to listen to people who know more than you and who can help you navigate through what lies ahead, odds are you won’t be in the league for long." It'll be interesting to see if the player is exposed later on. We're betting he will be.

Redskins offensive line coach Joe Bugel has noticed a "night and day" change in 2008 third-round pick Chad Rinehart.
Rinehart gave Washington nothing as a rookie, but the team hopes he'll provide depth at guard. The Skins have done poorly developing their offensive line draft picks of late. There was concern last year that Rinehart would bust, but Bugel now says "he's going to be a real good football player for us."

Beat writer Bill Coats expects Alex Barron to remain the Rams' starting left tackle when the season opens.
Barron, 27, is in a contract year and could significantly increase his 2010 market value if he performs well on Marc Bulger's blind side. Rookie Jason Smith's superior strength will come in handy at right tackle, although he'll likely move to the left side eventually. It just may not happen this season.

Rams DT Adam Carriker is reportedly fully healthy for the first time since suffering a torn labrum in December of 2007.
Carriker, who showed off his strength and quickness in OTAs, will key Steve Spagnuolo's defensive line along with last year's first-rounder Chris Long. He also has the luxury of sticking to one position this season -- left defensive tackle.

Beat writer Jim Wyatt calls Jared Cook the most impressive Titans rookie thus far.
First-rounder Kenny Britt has been slowed by a hamstring injury, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that the third-rounder has stood out the most. A freakish athlete, Cook has combined unique playmaking ability with bad drops this offseason.
