Downs fits Giants' slot receiver void after injuries; affordable trade option.

Downs, a 5-9, 171-pound slot receiver in the final year of his rookie contract, would fill the Giants' need for an elusive, impactful traditional slot receiver after Calvin Austin's season-ending torn ACL and losses of Gunner Olszewski and Braxton Berrios. In three full seasons with the Colts, Downs has never had fewer than 58 receptions, demonstrating consistent production. Financially, acquiring him would cost only the pro-rated portion of his $3.924 million base salary for the remainder of 2026, and draft capital would likely be limited to a late-round pick.
