The Indianapolis Colts have informed other NFL teams that they received a fourth-round draft pick offer for wide receiver Josh Downs, according to a report from ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports.
The development suggests the Colts are fielding trade inquiries for the second-year receiver, though it remains unclear whether Indianapolis is actively shopping Downs or simply listening to offers. Downs, selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of North Carolina, emerged as a reliable target in his rookie season, catching 68 passes for 771 yards and two touchdowns.
Any potential trade would represent a significant move for a Colts offense that has built around young skill-position talent. The reported fourth-round offer indicates other teams value Downs' production and potential, but the Colts would need to weigh that against his contributions to their current offensive scheme.
