Stampede Blue on Josh Downs
From the article
Pittsburgh is one of the more interesting possibilities...The Steelers have dealt with injuries at wide receiver and could benefit from adding a dependable target underneath...Kansas City is another team that could make sense, especially given the Chiefs' continued desire to surround Patrick Mahomes with reliable receiving options...New England also presents an intriguing possibility because of Downs' previous connection with quarterback Drake Maye at North Carolina.
STACKED’s take
Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and New England all present intriguing fits based on scheme, injuries, and quarterback connecti
Pittsburgh presents an interesting trade destination; the Steelers have dealt with injuries at wide receiver and could benefit from adding a dependable target underneath, particularly someone capable of consistently creating separation and moving the chains. Downs would provide a different skill set from some of their bigger receiving options while potentially reuniting with former Colts teammate Michael Pittman Jr., whom Pittsburgh acquired earlier this year. Kansas City is another team that could make sense given the Chiefs' continued desire to surround Patrick Mahomes with reliable receiving options; Downs' ability to work effectively from the slot and find openings against zone coverage could fit well within Andy Reid's offense. New England also presents an intriguing possibility because of Downs' previous connection with quarterback Drake Maye at North Carolina; the Patriots have invested heavily in supporting their young quarterback, and bringing in a receiver who already has experience working with him could provide immediate benefits.
