Guard Quenton Nelson was at the center of speculation about a possible Colts fire sale and the team decided to move the longtime centerpiece of its offensive line.
According to multiple reports, they agreed to trade Nelson to the Seahawks. The Seahawks will send a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Indianapolis.
Nelson was the sixth overall pick in 2018 and was a first-team All-Pro in each of his first three seasons. He’s also a three-time second-team All-Pro and an eight-time Pro Bowler, but he’s in the final year of his contract and the Colts are in rebuilding mode after firing general manager Chris Ballard last week.
The Seahawks started Gray Zabel and Anthony Bradford at guard in their Week 7 win over the Chiefs, but saw left tackle Charles Cross leave that game with an ankle injury. It’s unclear how long Cross will miss, but Nelson’s arrival will cause Seattle to move some pieces around as they work to build a stronger offensive line for their push toward a playoff berth and a run at a second straight Super Bowl title.
