What happened: The Indianapolis Colts informed interested teams that they received a fourth-round pick offer for wide receiver Josh Downs, according to ESPN. Indianapolis is seeking a third-round selection to complete any deal for the receiver. Downs requested a trade as he enters the final stretch of his rookie contract.

Why it matters: Indianapolis is shifting its focus toward future seasons after falling to 2-6, having already traded guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle Deforest Buckner. Dealing Downs would move another expiring deal as the front office also evaluates interest in veteran wideout Keenan Allen.

What to watch: Indianapolis will see whether any contending team meets its third-round asking price before the trade deadline passes.
