Chiefs Get Josh Downs: Does It Fix the Wide Receiver Problem at 6-2?
On Tuesdays with Sterling, Sterling Holmes and Josh Briscoe react to the Kansas City Chiefs trading for Colts wide receiver Josh Downs just before the NFL trade deadline, giving up a fourth- and fifth-round pick, and grade the move. Sterling and Josh walk through the Chiefs’ separation numbers and why Downs gives Patrick Mahomes a receiver who can win on third down. They debate whether the price was fair for a player in the final year of his contract, why Brian Thomas Jr., Garrett Wilson and Justin Jefferson were never realistic, and what Downs could cost to extend. They also talk Brandon Aiyuk and Tyreek Hill, whether the Chiefs still needed an edge rusher or tackle, and finish with their trade grades and the question of how much Andy Reid will play him.
