Overview
- Josh Downs formally requested a trade during the Colts’ roster teardown in late October and has been publicly available to other teams.
- Downs had multiple costly third‑down drops in the Colts’ Week 9 loss to the Cowboys that analysts say weakened his immediate trade stock.
- NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Monday that the Colts have an offer of at least a fourth‑round pick for Downs.
- Several analysts have linked Downs to teams including the Kansas City Chiefs and predicted a trade for a fourth‑round pick is the most likely outcome before the deadline.
- The Colts had hoped for a third‑round return but face deadline pressure to turn movable assets into draft capital and must decide whether to accept a Day‑3 offer by Tuesday’s trade deadline.
