Indianapolis Colts running back has generated trade interest ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
As they go down the direction of planning for the future, Hines very well could become a trade target. If the trade offer is significant enough, the team has to at least consider moving on from the playmaker.
Hines may be generating interest, but it’s still up to the Colts to pull the trigger on a deal.
Teams have reached out to the Colts to inquire about trading for RB/WR/PR Nyheim Hines, per sources.

Hines has been one of the most explosive playmakers on the Colts offense since he was drafted in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft even if the team hasn’t used him as much as we initially thought this season.
Hines is under contract through the 2024 season so a team trading for him would have control of his deal for roughly two and a half seasons.
Hines has proven to be a valuable asset when used properly but if the Colts need to start building up their draft class, they could get a decent pick in exchange.
The deadline officially arrives 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
