The Indianapolis Colts kicked off their selling on Tuesday, as they traded star guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks.
Yet, based on a new report, the Colts might just be getting started.
During a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that DeForest Buckner, Josh Downs, and Grover Stewart could be the next players who get traded by the Colts as they tear things down.

"I think the players that could be on the move for the Colts are DeForest Buckner, Josh Downs, and Grover Stewart," Schefter said.
Schefter also then specifically mentioned that he believes that Buckner will be the next player traded by Indianapolis.

With the Colts having a 2-5 record and just trading a big-name player like Nelson, it makes sense that more of their players are entering the rumor mill as trade candidates. It would be understandable for the Colts to trade away players like Buckner, Downs, and Stewart if they can land good returns.
Buckner should generate a lot of interest from teams looking for defensive help. In seven games this season, the three-time Pro Bowler has posted four sacks and 31 tackles.
Teams looking for a boost at the wide receiver position should be all over Downs. In seven games this season, the 25-year-old has recorded 26 receptions and 307 receiving yards.
As for Stewart, he could be a solid depth addition for a contender's defense if acquired. The 10-year veteran has spent his entire NFL career as a Colt, but it appears that his future in Indianapolis is now in jeopardy. In seven games this season, he has posted 0.5 sacks and 22 tackles.
