Report: Colts WR Josh Downs requests a trade
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts are undergoing significant roster changes following the trades of Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, with wide receiver Josh Downs now requesting a trade.
- Downs, along with Nelson and Buckner, is in the final year of his contract, making him a likely candidate for a trade before the November 10 deadline.
- Downs has recorded 26 catches for 307 yards this season and has a career total of 224 catches for 2,447 yards and 11 touchdowns since being drafted in 2023.
- Running back Jonathan Taylor, despite signing a two-year extension this summer, is frequently mentioned in trade discussions, indicating a potential major roster overhaul.
- If both Downs and Taylor are traded, it would signify a significant rebuild for the Colts, potentially benefiting the New York Jets, who hold the Colts' first-round pick in the 2027 draft.
