NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Indianapolis Colts have received trade interest from multiple teams for wide receiver Josh Downs, with the Pittsburgh Steelers identified as one of the suitors.

According to the report, the Colts have fielded inquiries regarding the availability of Downs, who has emerged as a promising playmaker in Indianapolis' offense. The Steelers, seeking to bolster their receiving corps, are among the teams that have expressed interest in acquiring the young wideout.

Downs, selected by the Colts in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has shown flashes of his athletic ability and route-running prowess during his time in Indianapolis. The 24-year-old receiver's potential availability has drawn attention from several franchises looking to add dynamic talent to their passing attacks.

The Steelers' interest aligns with their ongoing efforts to provide quarterback support and add explosive playmakers to their offensive scheme. Pittsburgh has been active in exploring trade options to upgrade their receiving group ahead of the trade deadline.

No deal has been finalized, and it remains unclear whether the Colts are actively shopping Downs or simply listening to offers. The situation bears monitoring as the NFL trade deadline approaches.
