The Kansas City Chiefs acquired wide receiver Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh‑round draft pick from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2027 fourth‑round pick and a 2027 fifth‑round pick.

Downs will slot in as Kansas City’s No.

2 wideout behind Rashee Rice, while the Colts have moved him to a wideout room that has become indecipherable.

The trade was prompted by Downs’ status as a free agent at year’s end, and the Colts have struggled to capitalize on his offensive involvement.

Downs reportedly asked for a trade roughly two weeks ago, and the relationship between him and the Colts is not “the best” right now.
