Colts face contract dilemma with Quenton Nelson ahead of 2027
Summary

The Indianapolis Colts have not been able to extend All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson's contract before the season. Nelson, coming off a strong 2025 season and named to his eighth consecutive Pro Bowl, enters the final year of a four-year, $80 million deal. His performance has solidified his status as a key player, but the Colts face a decision as his market value may rise if he continues to perform at a high level. The team has one season to negotiate a new deal before he becomes a free agent in 2027.
