In just two games, Bears nickelback Kyler Gordon is already living up to Dennis Allen’s hype, posting a career‑high four sacks, two forced fumbles and five tackles for loss while allowing only two receptions for five yards in 48 defensive snaps. After limited action last season due to injuries, Gordon’s impact coincides with Chicago’s three wins, when the defense surrendered just 300 yards and 17.6 points per game. With the Seahawks looming and slot star Jaxon Smith‑Njigba on the field, Gordon could see his snaps rise to 50 on Monday night.
After a 30‑20 Week 7 loss to Seattle, the Chiefs’ numbers reveal trouble ahead. L’Jarius Sneed was targeted on 55% of his coverage snaps, allowing a 118.8 passer rating, while Kansas City ran a season‑low 12 plays from under center, gaining just 51 yards. Defensive standout Ashton Gillotte logged four PFF “stops” in 28 run‑defense snaps, second‑most on the squad. Patrick Mahmes faced pressure on 39% of dropbacks – the second‑highest rate of his career – and when clean, his average throw traveled only 3.6 yards downfield. These trends suggest the Chiefs must revive the run and protect Mahomes to avoid further setbacks.
Nolan Teasley could bring some of the Seattle Seahawks' aggressiveness to help the Minnesota Vikings at the trade deadline.
The Indianapolis Colts have dealt veteran left guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. While Seattle secured the prized lineman, rumors from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reveal that the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles also expressed interest, suggesting Seattle out‑bid the three. Nelson, an eight‑time Pro Bowler with 136 starts, is expected to boost Seattle’s run and play‑action game, possibly debuting against the Bears in Week 8 or the Cardinals in Week 9.
The Seattle Kraken sit 7-4-1 and third in the Pacific Division, yet GM Jason Botterill still chases a top-line scorer. Insider Darren Dreger says Seattle is ready to trade a "big, good, young" centerman—potentially prospects Jake O'Brien, Oscar Fisker Molgaard, Julius Miettinen, or current contributor Berkly Catton—to land a marquee winger. The team has previously pursued Artemi Panarin and Jason Robertson, and even Shane Wright’s name lingers on the radar. With a home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs Wednesday, the Kraken aim to bolster their offense before the trade deadline.
The Indianapolis Colts, fresh off GM Chris Ballard’s firing, trade eight‑time Pro Bowler Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks. Nelson, a 2018 sixth‑overall pick and perennial All‑Pro, heads to Seattle in exchange for a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick as the Colts preempt his free‑agency expiration. The move follows a 2‑4 season start and signals a shift toward rebuilding with draft capital, while Seattle gains a proven interior lineman to bolster its offensive front.

The Seattle Seahawks bolster their depleted receiver group by signing former “Hard Knocks” standout Montorie Foster Jr. and rookie Malick Meiga to the practice squad after injuries to Rashid Shaheed and Velus Jones Jr. Foster, who made the 53-man roster but was a healthy scratch for six games, returns after being waived for Anthony Bradford. Meiga, an undrafted Coastal Carolina product, re‑joins after a brief release. The moves come ahead of Monday night’s matchup with the Chicago Bears, who will focus on limiting Jaxon Smith‑Njigba.
The Indianapolis Colts officially thank former sixth‑overall pick Quenton Nelson after trading him to the Seattle Seahawks, the reigning Super Bowl champs. Nelson, a three‑time first‑team All‑Pro and eight‑time Pro Bowler, leaves Indianapolis for a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. The Colts’ X post sparked speculation about a possible fire sale, but insider Adam Schefter says the team isn’t looking to move running back Jonathan Taylor. The Colts sit 2‑5 heading into a Sunday matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Indianapolis Colts trade eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick. Nelson, a three‑time first‑team All‑Pro, would dramatically upgrade any line, and Hogs Haven argues Washington’s Commanders should have pressed harder for him. With a 1‑4‑1 record but a softer schedule ahead, the Commanders could have used Nelson’s elite play to solidify left guard alongside Sam Cosmi, Lucas Patrick and a returning Laremy Tunsil, protecting QB Jayden Daniels and boosting the run game. The article questions GM Adam Peters' draft‑pick focus versus a guaranteed veteran upgrade.
The Chicago Bears may soon add veteran defensive tackle DeForest Buckner as the Indianapolis Colts look to move the 32‑year‑old, who has 75.5 career sacks and four this season. With the Seahawks just trading for left guard Quenton Nelson, the Bears' defense could benefit from Buckner’s 3‑technique interior pass rush and run‑stopping ability, fitting Dennis Allen’s scheme. Sources say GM Ryan Poles would need to act quickly, likely offering a few day‑three draft picks similar to the Nelson deal. A Buckner acquisition before the November 10 deadline could boost Chicago’s pressure on quarterbacks ahead of their Week 8 showdown with Seattle.
Steve Smith Sr. tore into the Kansas City Chiefs after their first loss of the season, a 31‑3 road defeat to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 27, 2026. The former wideout labeled the Chiefs’ run game “lipstick on a pig” and urged a trade, noting the lack of a true deep threat in the receiver corps. With Harrison Butker missing field goals and Kenneth Walker III bearing the load, speculation rises about a possible Tyreek Hill return despite his recent injury. Smith’s comments highlight growing pressure on Patrick Mahomes to revamp an otherwise stagnant offense.
After landing eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson, the Seattle Seahawks are eyeing another deadline move: Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert. With quarterback Sam Darnold struggling for a reliable target beyond Jaxon Smith‑Njigba, Goedert’s 22 catches for 228 yards and two TDs in the first seven games could boost the passing game. Philadelphia’s 2‑5 start makes the veteran expendable, and Seattle may not need to give up a high draft pick before he hits free agency. General manager John Schneider’s aggressive roster‑building could keep the Seahawks on track for a back‑to‑back Super Bowl run.
The New York Giants may target Colts RB Jonathan Taylor after the Indianapolis trade of guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle. Sources say Taylor’s asking price is a second‑round pick, possibly more, mirroring Nelson’s deal (2027 third‑ and 2028 fifth‑rounders). With Cam Skattebo back from injury and RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. now on IR, the Giants’ front office is weighing a bold move to bolster a struggling rushing attack. A recent 27‑21 overtime win in Houston could push the team to pull the trigger on the trade.
The Indianapolis Colts shocked the NFL by trading Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for draft assets, signaling a possible rebuild. Hours later, the team posted a hype video for rookie running back Seth McGowan, prompting fans on X to speculate that veteran star Jonathan Taylor could be on the trade block. Taylor, still one of the league's top backs, may attract interest despite the Colts' 2-5 record and recent loss to the Vikings. With the franchise seemingly prioritizing a future draft pick, additional moves before their upcoming divisional clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars are likely.
Russell Wilson says the Seahawks’ trade for Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson most benefits quarterback Sam Darnold, allowing him to run more play‑action and target star receiver JSN. The deal, announced on Tuesday, follows Seattle’s recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs and aims to boost Darnold’s struggling season after a poor showing against Denver. With running back Zach Charbonnet expected back from an ACL tear, the move could revitalize Seattle’s offense before the trade‑deadline. The Seahawks head into a primetime home clash with the Chicago Bears on Monday.
The Indianapolis Colts trade All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick, marking the start of a rapid fire‑sale that could see more players like DeForest Buckner move before the Nov. 10 deadline. The deal earns the Colts a B grade—solid compensation for an expiring contract—but leaves them without a first‑round pick after the Sauce Gardner trade. Seattle scores an A+ upgrade, adding veteran interior protection for Sam Darnold and bolstering a struggling run game, all at a low $9.78 million cap hit and with ample future cap space. Both teams’ futures now hinge on how they leverage these moves.
The Philadelphia Eagles were among several teams, including the Packers and Bears, that reportedly showed interest in Indianapolis Colts All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson before the Colts traded him to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. While Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been shopping for a starting blocker, the team's 2‑5 record and impending 2026 trade deadline suggest they may be sellers rather than buyers. Nelson, 30, becomes a free agent after the season, making him a short‑term, high‑cost option the Eagles likely hesitate to pursue.
The Bears head into a Monday night showdown with defending champion Seattle after an 11‑day break following a gritty win over New England. Wide receivers are the hot stock: rookie Luther Burden III exploded for 140 yards and a TD – his first 100‑yard game – while Rome Odunze rebounded with four catches for 69 yards after a shaky start. In contrast, the secondary is tumbling: Jaylon Johnson continues to underperform, Devin Bush lacks the expected speed, and Cameron Lewis has surrendered 139 yards and two TDs in 12 targets. Defensive standout D’Marco Jackson logged six tackles, an interception and a pass breakup against the Patriots.
With the NFL trade deadline looming, the 5-2 Chicago Bears are reportedly eyeing a major roster upgrade. While their defensive secondary struggles, reports from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reveal the Bears were among the teams interested in Colts left guard Quenton Nelson before he was dealt to the Seattle Seahawks. Nelson, an eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time First‑team All‑Pro with a 85.7 PFF grade this season, could have reshaped Chicago's offensive line alongside Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Darnell Wright. Although the deal fell through, the interest signals the Bears’ intent to make a deadline splash.
The Indianapolis Colts have revealed their stance on Jonathan Taylor after trading Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks
The Indianapolis Colts have already dealt eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and could be active at the trade deadline. ESPN’s Adam Schefter flags wide receiver Josh Downs as a likely candidate, with the Kansas City Chiefs reportedly interested. Schefter also lists DE DeForest Buckner and veteran Keenan Allen among possible moves, while the fate of running back Jonathan Taylor remains uncertain. Downs' approaching free agency and contract situation make him a prime trade chip as Indianapolis reshapes its roster.
The Indianapolis Colts, now 2-5, trade away All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick, after losing their 2027 first‑rounder in the Sauce Gardner deal. With GM Chris Ballard recently fired, the club quickly turns to its next expiring contract: defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Sources say the Colts are actively shopping Buckner and expect a move before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, likely to a contending team that can offer draft capital.
The Seattle Seahawks overhaul their practice squad, adding wide receivers Montorie Foster Jr. and Malick Meiga while cutting fullback Jackson Acker and linebacker Josh Ross. Meiga, a 25‑year‑old former Penn State and Coastal Carolina standout who went undrafted in 2026, spent a brief stint with the Panthers before joining Seattle in late September; he posted 35 catches for 432 yards and two TDs over 51 collegiate games. The moves were announced on Oct. 27, 2026.
