NEW YORK, November 11, 2026. Burwick Law is investigating potential claims on behalf of traders who lost money on the Josh Downs contract in the “Pro Football Players Moved by the Trade Deadline” market on Polymarket US. Burwick Law represents Polymarket traders in disputes over market resolutions. Burwick Law has filed lawsuits in New York over other Polymarket market resolutions.

The market is listed on Polymarket US. Polymarket US states on its website that it is operated by QCX LLC d/b/a Polymarket US, a Designated Contract Market regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The market contains a separate contract for each listed player.

The published rules provide that the Josh Downs contract settles to “Yes” if Josh Downs is traded or released by the Indianapolis Colts before the 2026 NFL trade deadline at 4:00 PM ET on November 10, 2026. The published rules state that a trade must be officially processed and approved by the NFL before that deadline. The published rules state that the contract otherwise settles to “No.”

On November 10, 2026, the Indianapolis Colts traded Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Public reporting states that the Chiefs sent 2027 fourth-round and fifth-round draft picks to the Colts. Public reporting states that the trade was made before the 4:00 PM ET deadline.

The Josh Downs contract settled “No.” “Yes” shares paid nothing. Burwick Law is reviewing whether that settlement followed the market’s published rules.

Burwick Law is seeking to speak with (1) traders who held “Yes” shares in the Josh Downs contract when it settled, and (2) traders who sold “Yes” shares at a loss before the contract settled. The size of the position does not matter.

Legal claims are subject to time limits. Traders should keep their records, including transaction history, account information, and copies of the market page and its rules. Each trader’s circumstances differ and can affect that trader’s claim.
