What happened: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been the subject of trade talks, per Ian Rapoport. Adam Schefter also reported that the Colts are open to moving the third-year wideout, while defensive tackles DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart were identified on The Pat McAfee Show as additional veterans who could be dealt.

Why it matters: Indianapolis has pivoted into a roster sell-off after firing general manager Chris Ballard and trading six-time All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle for 2027 third-round and 2028 fifth-round draft picks. Moving Downs would further reshape a passing attack that already saw fellow wide receiver Alec Pierce placed on injured reserve with a heel injury in late September.

What to watch: Rival front offices will monitor whether Indianapolis finalizes deals for Downs, Buckner, or Stewart prior to the NFL trade deadline.
