Alex Carrington DT - BUF:
May 18, 6:31PM: Carrington made...
Bills DL Alex Carrington averaged a pressure every 10 pass rushes last season. Carrington was an effective rotational lineman behind Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus in the Bills' 4-3 defense, but his role in new DC Mike Pettine's system remains unclear with the addition of Alan Branch. He previously played both defensive end and outside linebacker in Buffalo's 3-4 scheme.

Kelcie McCray S - MIA:
May 18, 5:38PM: Dolphins hoping...
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel confirms Kelcie McCray is "in the mix" for the Dolphins' free safety job. McCray went undrafted in 2012 and spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve, but the Dolphins are counting on him to take a big step forward now that he's finally healthy. There isn't much in the way of other current options after Miami didn't address safety in the draft. McCray will compete for a starting role with Chris Clemons and Jimmy Wilson in training camp.

Eddie Royal WR - SD:
May 18, 4:14PM: Chargers could...
The Chargers could save $1.5 million against the cap by releasing Eddie Royal. Royal and Robert Meachem were signed to multi-year contracts last spring, and both were colossal busts in 2012. Royal was always battling a hamstring injury, and he finished the season with just 23 grabs for 234 yards and a touchdown in ten games played. The Chargers have depth at receiver, and the team could use some money to go get a free agent left tackle like Max Starks.

Victor Cruz WR - NYG:
May 18, 3:42PM: Talks 'moving...
Profootballtalk reports that contract extension talks between the Giants and restricted free agent Victor Cruz are "moving slowly." Talks are expected to resume this week, a source tells PFT's Mike Florio. Cruz has yet to sign his one-year, $2.879 million tender, and he has reportedly lowered his contract demands "much closer" to $8 million annually after previously seeking $10-11 million per year. Cruz hasn't shown up for OTAs.

Travis Frederick C - DAL:
May 18, 3:34PM: Cowboys' goal is...
The Cowboys' goal is to make No. 31 overall pick Travis Frederick the starting center as a rookie. Frederick will "compete" with Phil Costa and Ryan Cook for the gig, but owner/GM Jerry Jones has already stated that the rookie will immediately be a starter. Aside from LT Tyron Smith, the Cowboys' offense line was a disaster last season. Both guard spots and right tackle are up for grabs in training camp.

Mike Goodson RB - NYJ:
May 18, 3:05PM: Teammate thinks...
Jets LG Willie Colon believes the team will release Mike Goodson following his arrest on Friday morning. "It's one of the things where it's zero-tolerance with stuff like that," Colon said. "It's sad. Mike could have been huge for us. He wasn't around a lot, so I didn't really get to see him a lot. For the most part, I was kind of anticipating seeing how he was going to do in OTAs. A lot of guys were upset. They knew the type of ballplayer (he was)." The Jets guaranteed Goodson nearly $2 million two months ago, so we're not quite sure this is the end. But it wouldn't be a surprise if it was. Goodson faces jail time and almost certainly a suspension.

Tyler Polumbus OT - WAS:
May 18, 1:43PM: Polumbus...
CSN Washington believes Tyler Polumbus has the "inside track" to the Redskins' starting right tackle job. Polumbus started 15 games at right tackle for Washington last season, but he was completely over-matched as both a run and pass blocker. The Redskins re-signed Polumbus to a two-year deal, but they also brought in veterans Jeremy Trueblood and Tony Pashos as competition. The team is also reportedly very high on 2012 sixth-round pick Tom Compton, but he might be another year away.
