Donte Moncrief Trade Rumors: Colts Talking Offers on WR Along with T.Y. Hilton
The Indianapolis Colts have been engaged in trade talks regarding wide receivers Donte Moncrief and T.Y. Hilton and cornerback Vontae Davis, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
The Colts' 2-6 start and the murky status of quarterback Andrew Luck—who has yet to play in 2017 as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery—may cause the Colts to become sellers before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.
Moncrief, 24, has posted mediocre numbers in 2017, catching 18 passes for 271 receiving yards and one score. While some of that can be attributed to spotty quarterback play with Luck shelved, Moncrief has largely been inconsistent in his four-year career.

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
With Moncrief in the last year of his contract, the Colts could be inclined to move him if they don't plan on offering him a contract extension. Davis is also a free agent after the 2017 season, so the Colts could be inclined to deal him now rather than lose him for nothing after the season.
As for Hilton, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that a trade probably wouldn't happen:
Hilton remains the team's best receiver and playmaker in general, and he is under contract through 2020, so the team isn't in danger of losing him in free agency this offseason like Moncrief. Plus, Hilton is established as Luck's top target, so keeping him on the roster for Luck—whether he returns this season or next—makes sense for the Colts.
The Colts may be sellers at the deadline, but Moncrief or Davis seem like the more likely players to be moved than Hilton.
