Colts Reportedly Receive Fourth-Round Offer for Downs

The Indianapolis Colts have received at least one offer of a fourth-round draft pick for wide receiver Josh Downs and are telling other teams they must improve on it. Downs, a 2023 third-round pick in the final year of his contract, has requested a trade as Indianapolis shifts toward rebuilding after a series of losses and trades. Reports say the Colts may be holding out for a stronger package, potentially including an additional draft pick, while several contenders are viewed as possible suitors. The Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers have been mentioned, though no deal has been announced.
