On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs announced a trade for wide receiver Josh Downs, a fourth-year playmaker originally drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round of the 2023 draft.
The move, which required Kansas City to send 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Colts, was somewhat expected; the Chiefs needed a receiver this season due to injuries at the position. We know Tyquan Thornton (dislocated ankle) is likely out for the rest of the regular season, but Xavier Worthy (hamstring) will likely be on this week’s injury report, and Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) is always one play away from another soft-tissue injury.
Currently, roughly three-fourths of Arrowhead Pride voters in The Feed approve of the deal on its face. Here are the top comments from the poll so far:
I was not a fan of getting Downs. But, the cupboard was pretty bare out there and the Chiefs needed(still need) WR help. Downs should help. Plus he wanted to be a Chief. I wish him the best of luck and hope he will be an outstanding addition to the team.
HOW CAN WE WASTE 4th and 5th ROUND PICKS WHEN WE CAN BE DRAFTING THE NEXT CORNELL POWELL???
Yet another wide receiver that Patrick won’t have the time to look for because he’ll either be running for his life or buried under a pile of opposing linemen. I hope I’m wrong, but that’s what I’m expecting.

Finally got a receiver with a nice ASS*

Honestly, I like it. This fills a need we desperately had. Looking at it, Josh maybe the best route runner in the WR room. Dude knows how to get open and that’s what Pat needs right now.
We now have 12 slot receivers. Do we have a play for that?
Here are some of the most notable reactions across social media regarding the trade:
…especially compared to his new teammates
