Dug In: Adam Schefter [said]( on Wednesday that there “hasn’t been a whole lot of conversation” between the Jets and Packers since the league meetings (March 26-28). - He believes both sides are dug in and that a trade may not happen until after the draft. Image: Ben Warden/Icon Sportswire Saquon [Saquon Barkley] Giants don’t have “much interest” in signing Saquon Barkley to a long-term deal Details: The insight comes from Ralph Vacchiano (Fox Sports), who notes the Giants are content to let Barkley [play out]( the season on the franchise tag. - The tag for running backs is worth $10.1 million. The Problem: Barkley wants a long-term deal and has signaled that he will [not]( sign the franchise tag. Holdout? The 2x Pro Bowler won’t be attending the team’s offseason program next week and could extend his holdout into training camp. Numbers: Barkley is thought to be seeking $16 million per season, the Giants — back in January — were not willing to go [beyond]( $12.5 million. Image: Nicole Fridling/Icon Sportswire Colts [Anthony Richardson] Colts moving forward with plans to select QB with No. 4 pick Details: The insight comes from ESPN’s Stephen Holder, who adds that the Colts are [preparing]( to choose between Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. - The team expects Bryce Young and CJ Stroud to be selected with the first and second picks. Lots of Research: Holder indicates that the Colts have been doing extensive background work on Richardson. - That work has included sending staffers to watch him train in Jacksonville, putting him through a private workout, and flying him to Indianapolis for an official [two-day]( visit. Lamar? While the Colts did have internal discussions about Lamar Jackson, Holder does not think the team is currently planning to make a run at the former MVP. Image: David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire Rashee [Rashee Rice] SMU WR Rashee Rice drawing interest from the Chiefs Details: The Chiefs [used]( a Top 30 visit on Rice and attended his Pro Day. Profile: Rice caught 96 passes for 1,355 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He led the nation with 18 catches of 20-plus air yards. - The 6-foot-1, 204-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds. He jumped 41 inches in the vertical (tied for best among receivers) and 10’8” in the broad. Brugler: Draft expert Dane Brugler [ranks]( Rice as the draft’s 11th-best receiver. He writes, “Overall, Rice must prove he has NFL-level consistency (in all areas) to compensate for his average speed, but he is a ball winner with natural instincts after the catch. He can be a quality contributor early in his NFL career.” Image: Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire Bears [Paris Johnson Jr.] Bears primed to take an OT at No. 9 Details: Albert Breer thinks the Bears are [set]( to take an offensive tackle prospect in the first round. Options: Chicago will likely be deciding between Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski, Ohio State’s Paris Johnson Jr., Georgia’s Broderick Jones, and Tennessee’s Darnell Wright. - The team has scheduled pre-draft visits with Johnson, Jones, and Wright. Leaked: A video [posted]( to the Bears’ official YouTube account included a glance at the traits the team desires for each position. One of the traits they value in offensive tackles is length, which could rule out Skoronski, who has short arms (32 1/4") for the position. Upgrade Needed: The Bears allowed the fourth-most sacks (58) in the league last season. Image: Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire Jaguars [Cam Smith] South Carolina CB Cam Smith to visit Jaguars Details: Smith will be at the Jaguars' [facility]( today. Profile: Smith [allowed]( 18 catches on 38 targets (47.4%) for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns last season. He totaled 1 interception and 5 pass deflections. - The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds. He jumped 38” in the vertical and 11’2” in the broad. Brugler: Draft expert Dane Brugler [ranks]( Smith as the draft’s tenth-best corner. He writes, "Overall, wild tendencies and unrefined technique are the concerns, but Smith has all the talent necessary to be a longtime NFL starter if he makes the necessary adjustments. He can work either inside or outside and will fit best in a zone-heavy scheme." Jaguars' Fit: Smith would likely start opposite emerging superstar Tyson Campbell (82.1 PFF grade). Jacksonville had the NFL’s fifth-worst passing defense last season.
