Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.
Downs has asked to be traded, and Indianapolis appears likely to grant it, since he is in the final year of his rookie contract and leads the Colts with 330 receiving yards. Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
