Quenton Nelson trade: Seahawks acquire All-Pro guard from Colts for two draft picks, per report
The Seattle Seahawks have bolstered their offensive front by acquiring veteran guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts. To secure the six-time All-Pro, Seattle is parting with a third-round selection in the 2027 draft and a fifth-round choice in 2028, while also absorbing the remaining $9.777 million on his current contract.
This move provides the Seahawks with immediate depth and flexibility, potentially shifting Grey Zabel to the right side of the line to accommodate Nelson at his preferred left guard spot. Nelson arrives in Seattle having surrendered no sacks this season, offering a significant upgrade for quarterback Sam Darnold and a backfield that expects the return of Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price.
The trade marks a major shift for the Colts, who are offloading assets following a difficult 2-5 start and the departure of their general manager.
