The NFL trade deadline is one day away, and there's still plenty of players who could be dealt before then.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is one of those players as he requested a trade from the team a couple weeks ago. There's been rumors circulating about teams interested in trading for Downs, but there haven't been any actual moves made towards making that happen.
ESPN's Adam Schefter provided an update on Downs's trade status on Monday when appearing on the "Pat McAfee Show." At least one team has given a trade offer for Downs to the Colts, but Schefter didn't name the team.

"The Colts have an offer of at least a fourth rounder for Josh Downs right now," Schefter said. "I don't know why they wouldn't move him at this point in time."
Trading for a wide receiver to only send a fourth-round pick would be a steal for whichever team offered that, which is probably why the Colts may have turned it down.
Downs's Sunday performance against the Dallas Cowboys, though, might have hurt his chances of of team being interested in him. He dropped a key third-down pass late in the fourth quarter just before the Cowboys' go-ahead touchdown drive to win the game.

After the game, Downs reiterated his stance on his future. He's open to whatever the Colts want to do, even if that includes staying in Indianapolis.
"I said I'm open to whatever, and if they want me to stay here, I'mma stay here, and if they don't, they'll trade me away," Downs said.
Through nine games this season, Downs has caught 33-of-56 passes thrown to him for 354 yards and one touchdown. He appears ready to possibly join a playoff contending team since the 2-7 Colts likely won't make the postseason.
