Colts Trade Wide Receiver Josh Downs to Chiefs, Reports Say
The Chiefs add a proven slot target after injuries thinned their receiver room, with Josh Downs bringing 33 catches and a fourth-round value, reports said.
- On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts traded wide receiver Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the 4 p.m. EST NFL trade deadline, fulfilling an insider's declaration of "Josh Downs or bust."
- Downs requested a trade after the Colts fired general manager Chris Ballard and traded franchise veterans Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, signaling a roster rebuild strategy.
- Kansas City acquired Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for 2027 fourth and fifth-round selections. Downs recorded 33 catches for 354 yards and one touchdown through nine games this season.
- Seeking receiver depth after injuries sidelined Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton, the Chiefs bolstered their corps. Separately, Indianapolis traded veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday.
- Playing on an expiring $4.2 million contract, Downs hopes to improve production after dropping passes in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He remains open to new opportunities.
