Quenton Nelson set for contract negotiations with Colts this summer
Summary

Indianapolis Colts left guard Quenton Nelson is entering the final year of his contract. At 30 years old, he previously set the record as the highest-paid guard in 2022. With six All-Pro selections and eight Pro Bowl appearances, Nelson is seen as vital for the Colts' offense under head coach Shane Steichen. ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggests that Nelson could reset the guard market again, but the Colts' salary cap situation is somewhat challenging after recent extensions to quarterback Daniel Jones and receiver Alec Pierce. Contract negotiations are expected to take place this summer.
