The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts. Downs leads the Colts in several key receiving categories.  Tom Pelissero of “The Ringer” reports the deal, citing sources. Downs has been with the Colts since 2023, when Indianapolis selected him in the third round of the NFL Draft. The receiver previously played for North Carolina.

The 25-year-old appeared in all nine of the Colts’ games this season, recording 33 receptions for 354 receiving yards and a touchdown. His 354 yards led Indianapolis.

Downs also leads the team in routes run. He has run 310 routes and been on the field for 80.4 percent of the offense’s snaps. His rookie contract expires after the 2026 season. Downs is then expected to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

Kansas City needs production from its receiver room

In Kansas City, Downs is expected to bolster a receiver group that has totaled just 940 receiving yards this season. That ranks 30th among all 32 NFL teams.

Rashee Rice leads the Chiefs’ receivers with 292 receiving yards despite appearing in just six games so far. Downs could therefore provide a boost to the passing offense. The planned trade compensation consists of two Day 3 picks in the NFL Draft: a fourth-round pick and a fifth-round pick.

The Colts also sent veteran receiver Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers earlier that same Tuesday. With Downs gone, Indianapolis loses another key receiver, while Kansas City adds to its receiver group for the rest of the season.
