Latest news and updates about the Colts
Chiefs Kingdom has plenty of reasons to embrace irrational optimism again
After two weeks of doom and gloom, the second half of the Jets game and the move to grab Josh Downs from the Colts at the trade deadline should put some pep in Chiefs fans' steps.
San Francisco 49ers Initially Focused Trade Talks on a Different Receiver Before Keenan Allen
Ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, the 49ers, sitting 7‑1 atop the NFC West, made two moves: a fourth‑round pick for DE DeForest Buckner and a sixth‑round pick for veteran WR Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts. Though Allen was not the original target—GM John Lynch says the team first pursued Colts WR Josh Downs—coach Kyle Shanahan pushed for Allen, leading to the deal. Allen, on an expiring contract, offers low risk for a team battling injuries, while Downs would have required a higher price, as shown by Kansas City’s trade.
Kansas City Chiefs Tried Trading for 3x 1,000-Yard Receiver Who’s Still Just 26
The Kansas City Chiefs, who traded a fourth‑round and a 2027 fifth‑round pick for Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs before the Nov. 10 deadline, also pursued New York Jets star receiver Garrett Wilson. At 26, Wilson is a three‑time 1,000‑yard performer on pace for a career‑high 1,120 yards this season, despite the Jets' 2‑7 record and multiple quarterback changes. ESPN insider Rich Cimini says the Chiefs (and the 49ers) expressed interest, but the Jets refused to trade their top talent, and Wilson prefers to stay in New York under a contract through 2030. The deal remains off the table, though future offseason talks may revive interest.

Ex-Steelers HC Mike Tomlin’s Next Move Could Raise Eyebrows
Former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin now enjoys his analyst role on NBC’s “Football Night in America,” but rumors swirl about a possible return to coaching. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio lists the New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles and especially the Carolina Panthers as likely destinations, noting owner David Tepper’s reported interest. While the Panthers have struggled historically and haven’t won a playoff game since their 2016 Super Bowl run, they could become Tomlin’s next big challenge if he decides to leave the broadcast booth.
Grading the Colts’ trade deadline: Which moves helped the rebuild and which could backfire?
The Indianapolis Colts, sitting 2-7 and entering a rebuild after GM Chris Ballard’s ouster, made a flurry of deadline moves, trading away Jonathan Taylor, DeForest Buckner, Quenton Nelson and Josh Downs, plus veteran Keenan Allen, while keeping Taylor. The swaps netted six draft picks (including a 2027 fourth‑round for Buckner and a 2027 third‑round plus a 2028 fifth‑round for Nelson) and left the team with 10 selections in 2027 and eight in 2028, despite losing their first‑rounder from the Sauce Gardner trade. Analyst grades each deal, awarding Buckner an A for freeing a veteran and boosting young pass‑rusher Adetomiwa Adebawore, while deeming Nelson’s third‑round return a tougher call given his elite guard status. The piece weighs which trades aid the rebuild and which could hinder the Colts’ future window.

John Lynch says the 49ers ‘focused’ on Josh Downs before Keenan Allen
49ers GM John Lynch reveals the trade for veteran WR Keenan Allen began while scouting Colts' Josh Downs. After a brief two‑week negotiation—despite the Chargers initially resisting—Allen signed with San Francisco, filling a receiver need at a lower price. Lynch admits Allen faces a steep learning curve mastering the Niners' complex playbook, likening his integration to the quick Christian McCaffrey trade. Extra meetings and an early‑morning physical aim to get him ready for Sunday, as the team also regains health at receiver with Demarcus Robinson back, Deebo Samuel pending, and Mike Evans listed as week‑to‑week.

Cowboys vs 49ers: 2 players Dallas should use more in Week 10
After a 27‑23 win over the Colts, the Dallas Cowboys host the 49ers on Sunday and need a deeper pass rush and stronger safety play.

Locke and supplant underperforming Markquese Bell.

Skattebo boasted, “You’ve seen what I can do,” and claimed he can become one of the league’s most dangerous backs when healthy. McCoy responded, “There’s confidence, and then there’s confusion,” suggesting the rookie’s self‑assurance may overlook the situation. The Giants had been linked to options like Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor but chose to stick with their current backfield as Skattebo recovers from a hamstring injury.
