Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has acquired a new target in wide receiver Josh Downs following a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, according to a Yahoo Sports report. The move aims to provide Mahomes with a reliable separator in the passing game.
Downs, who wore number 2 for the Colts, was photographed making a first-down catch against the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 18, 2026. The trade brings the young receiver to an offense led by the two-time NFL MVP.
Details of the trade compensation were not immediately disclosed. The Chiefs hope Downs' route-running ability will complement their existing receiving corps as they pursue another championship run.
