- More Colts players could be traded before the deadline.

## Summary

The Indianapolis Colts have traded eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, signalling a possible shift towards rebuilding after a poor start to the season. Seattle strengthens its offensive line as it seeks to defend its Super Bowl title, while Indianapolis gains draft picks and could make further deals before the trade deadline.

The Seahawks will send a third-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round pick in 2028 for the 30-year-old Nelson, who is unsigned for 2027. Indianapolis is 2-5, has lost three games in a row and recently dismissed general manager Chris Ballard; interim general manager Ed Dodds is handling transactions. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner is among the other players drawing interest, while receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen are also mentioned as possible trade candidates.
