The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to trade eight-time Pro Bowler Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter.
Nelson is in the final year of his contract, and Indianapolis opted to get some draft capital in return rather than risk losing him in free agency.
The Colts have been under the microscope in recent weeks after general manager Chris Ballard was fired last week, with frustration growing around the team following its 2-5 start to the season. With the trade deadline approaching in early November, the Colts have been viewed as potential major sellers as they may opt to hit the reset button on their franchise.
Along with his eight Pro Bowl selections, Nelson is also a three-time First-Team All-Pro and a three-time Second-Team All-Pro. He will now join a talented Seahawks roster coming off a Super Bowl win and looking to bolster its offensive line in hopes of making another deep playoff run in a competitive NFC West division.
