Adam Schefter's Josh Downs Trade Hint

Schefter's Trade Report

Adam Schefter named Josh Downs as a player likely to be traded for a fourth-round draft pick.

“Josh Downs sounds like he could be on the move this week for a fourth-round draft pick. Kansas City is interested, Pittsburgh is interested, teams looking for a receiver are interested.”

Steelers' Draft Position

Pittsburgh Steelers lack a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft but have two third-round picks.

Potential Trade Deal

Steelers could trade a third-round pick for Downs and a fifth-round pick.

Chiefs' Interest

Kansas City Chiefs have a 2027 fourth-round pick and may trade it for Downs.

Downs' Fit

Downs would be redundant as a receiver who thrives underneath and isn't a major big-play threat.

Steelers' Perspective

Steelers likely won't trade Downs unless they want to give up more than a third-round pick.

Trade Deadline

Trade deadline is on Tuesday with Downs almost surely on the move.

Likely Outcome

Downs may not stay with Pittsburgh Steelers after trade deadline.
