The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to trade All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for two draft picks, according to multiple reports.
The Associated Press reported that Indianapolis will receive a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick. The New York Times reported that the selections are in the 2027 and 2028 drafts. Neither team had announced the deal when the AP published its report. Yahoo Sports reported that the Philadelphia Eagles had also shown interest in Nelson before the Seattle trade.
Nelson, 30, has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his eight NFL seasons. Indianapolis drafted him sixth overall in 2018, and he earned All-Pro honors in each of his first three seasons. He can become a free agent in March.
The trade is the Colts’ second major organizational move in two weeks. Indianapolis fired general manager Chris Ballard last week following a home loss to the previously winless Tennessee Titans, with assistant general manager Ed Dodds taking over on an interim basis.
The Colts are 2-5 after losing three consecutive games and 12 of their past 14. Seattle is 4-3.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Delete the unsupported first-team designation while retaining the sourced All-Pro record. - "he earned first-team All-Pro honors in each of his first three seasons": The sources say Nelson was an All-Pro from 2018 through 2020 but do not specify first-team honors.
