Overview
- ESPN reporter Adam Schefter said the Colts are now expected to get a 2027 fourth-round draft pick in a trade for wide receiver Josh Downs.
- Multiple outlets report that Kansas City and Pittsburgh are among the teams showing interest in Downs, creating a competitive market before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
- The Steelers have an urgent receiving need after playing without several top targets recently, but they do not own a 2027 fourth-round pick.
- Pittsburgh could still pursue Downs by offering a third-round pick, arranging a pick swap, or finding another creative solution, though that could raise the cost.
- Downs formally requested a trade after the Colts began a post–GM firing roster teardown that has included deals for veterans and shifted Downs from slot to more outside snaps.
