Should Patriots try to trade for Colts WR Josh Downs before deadline?
xCruzo Brief
The Indianapolis Colts are potential sellers ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline, with wide receiver Josh Downs emerging as a notable option. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Wednesday that Downs has requested a trade as the Colts continue a rebuilding approach. The 25-year-old is in the final year of his deal, carrying a roughly $4.1 million cap hit and becoming an unrestricted free agent after the season. The New England Patriots could use WR depth, especially with Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs on injured reserve and inconsistent production from several others. However, Downs and DeMario Douglas overlap heavily as mostly slot receivers, raising questions about the cost of draft capital.
