Another potential trade target has come off the board. The Kansas City Chiefs are trading for Indianapolis Colts wideout Josh Downs, striking a deal just before the 4 p.m. ET deadline.
Downs was someone who would've fit well with the Los Angeles Rams, but he's heading to Kansas City to catch passes from Patrick Mahomes. There was no publicly reported interest in Downs from the Rams, but given their need at wide receiver, it's logical to think they may have considered making a deal for him.
The Colts offloaded both of their top receivers on Tuesday, sending Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers and Downs to the Chiefs. Los Angeles, meanwhile, has yet to make a move for a wide receiver.
