Colts’ major trades signal a possible rebuild

Indianapolis traded DeForest Buckner to San Francisco for a 2027 fourth-round pick and Quenton Nelson to Seattle; the GM was also fired. Josh Downs reportedly requested a trade, did not deny the report and said he is “open to whatever,” but no deal is confirmed. New rumor coverage says Downs may be more attainable than Taylor, while Taylor is drawing interest but is not considered a sure trade; Steichen says Taylor has not requested a trade.
