Colts Trade All-Pro Guard Quenton Nelson to Seahawks, AP Source Says
Nelson gives Seattle an immediate upgrade up front while Indianapolis adds draft capital as the Colts continue reshaping the roster.
- On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts traded eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
- Following the firing of general manager Chris Ballard, Indianapolis initiated a roster teardown amid a disappointing 2-5 season start and a need to recoup draft capital.
- Nelson, 30, plays in the final year of a four-year, $80 million contract, making the trade a strategic move to secure compensation before he reaches free agency.
- Seeking to bolster a rushing attack that ranks 17th in yards per game and 23rd in yards per carry, the Seahawks strengthened their offensive line for a Super Bowl contender push.
- The Colts are "actively shopping" defensive tackle DeForest Buckner before the November 10 trade deadline, signaling Indianapolis will pursue additional draft capital to accelerate its rebuild.
