Colts reportedly send Quenton Nelson to Seahawks for two future picks
Indianapolis, sitting at 2-5, is reportedly trading eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-rounder. The move could mark the start of a broader roster reset, with other veteran Colts also drawing interest.
The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly trading guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a third-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round selection in 2028, a deal that would send one of the franchise’s most accomplished players out of Indianapolis.
The reported trade comes as the Colts sit at 2-5 and face the prospect of reshaping their roster. Nelson, an eight-time Pro Bowler, has been a central figure on the team’s offensive line. The available details did not indicate whether either team had formally announced the deal.
The move may be the first in a larger round of changes. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and running back Jonathan Taylor are among the other Colts whose talent could attract interest from teams around the league.
For Indianapolis, trading a decorated veteran for future draft picks would signal a turn toward rebuilding rather than trying to salvage the current season. The reported return gives the Colts additional selections in the next two drafts, while Seattle would add an experienced lineman.
