Josh Downs landing spots after Colts WR reportedly asks out, Indy continues fire sale

The Indianapolis Colts have been busy this week, selling notable pieces ahead of the trade deadline, including offensive guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard. The NFL world has now turned its attention to running back Jonathan Taylor as the next Colt that could be dealt, but there's another weapon to watch in Indy.

Wide receiver Josh Downs has requested a trade, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Downs is in the final year of his rookie deal and has reportedly fetched interest from multiple teams. With the Colts rebuilding, he seems to want out now.

"It is what it is," Downs told reporters in the Colts locker room on Wednesday, per The Athletic. "I'm here today, but whatever comes my way comes my way."
