Seahawks acquire Quenton Nelson, Anthony Bradford remains key backup
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks traded for All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts on October 29, 2026, sending two draft picks in return. With this acquisition, Nelson will start alongside Grey Zabel, which shifts Anthony Bradford to a backup role. Despite the change, Bradford's experience remains crucial as the Seahawks lost depth in their interior offensive line following injuries to Mason Richman and the recent release of Christian Haynes. Bradford's ability to step in if needed is highlighted as important for the team's offensive line strategy moving forward.
