The Indianapolis Colts, who are 2-5 and recently fired Chris Ballard as general manager, made a couple of major moves on Tuesday to stock up on draft choices before the NFL’s November 10 trade deadline. The Colts dealt eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a third round draft choice in 2027 and a fifth round pick in ’28. Nelson was drafted by the Colts sixth overall in 2018. Indianapolis also traded defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. He’s going back to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2027 fourth round pick. Buckner was drafted by the 49ers seventh overall in 2016, before he was traded to the Colts in 2020 for a first round pick.
