Seahawks acquire Quenton Nelson from Colts in significant trade

On October 27, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks traded for Indianapolis Colts left guard Quenton Nelson. Seattle sent a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to secure Nelson, who is considered a future Hall of Famer. This trade extends general manager John Schneider's streak of acquiring high-profile players on expiring contracts, having done so for four consecutive years, with a history of securing extensions. There's a risk associated with Nelson’s current contract ending this season, but Schneider may be confident in retaining him, given his past success with similar deals.
