INDIANAPOLIS -- Edgerrin James was a no-show Friday as the Indianapolis Colts began a mandatory mini-camp session.

The former two-time NFL rushing champion signed a one-year franchise offer from the Colts in March that will pay him a little more than $8 million this year.

Apparently, he's not happy.

We're missing one guy," Dungy said after Friday's workout. He said he had spoken with James and understood why he hadn't shown up.

"It's a little disappointing to us. We want to have everybody here, but our thing is to focus on the guys who are here," Dungy said. "We're getting a lot of good work and we've got to continue that. When Edgerrin gets here, we'll go from there."

Drew Rosenhaus, James' agent, declined to comment when reached Friday by The Associated Press.

Rosenhaus had said in March that James was "not enthusiastic" about playing under a one-year contract and that he was negotiating with the Colts and other NFL teams.

James is facing a $1,000-a-day fine from the Colts for missing the three-day mini-camp at the team's Indianapolis practice complex.
