Oct 27 (Field Level Media) – The Seattle Seahawks are ​acquiring eight-time Pro Bowl ‌guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.

The Colts will receive ‌a ​third-round pick ⁠in the 2027 ⁠NFL Draft and a fifth- round selection in 2028, per the reports.

Nelson, 30, ​is playing in the final season of a ⁠four-year, $80 million ⁠contract. Trading him now ​allows the Colts to receive ​some compensation, as opposed to ‌letting him walk at the end of the season.

A first-time All-Pro in ⁠each of his first three seasons, Nelson has started all seven ⁠games ‌in 2026 and ⁠all 136 in which ​he ‌has played since ​being selected ⁠by the Colts with the sixth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame.
