The Seattle Seahawks acquire three-time First-Team All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts, sending a 2027 third‑round pick and a 2028 fifth‑round pick to Indy. Nelson, a nine‑year veteran with 136 games and eight Pro Bowl selections, joins Seattle in the final year of his contract, giving GM John Schneider a chance to lock him up long‑term. The trade sparked a viral meme from Neal Khosla, son of the new Seahawks owners, featuring Schneider with laser eyes. Nelson could debut in Week 8 on Monday Night Football against the Bears, or Week 9 versus the Cardinals.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reveals that the Packers, Bears, Eagles and, according to Kevin Seifert, the Vikings, all showed varying interest in veteran guard Quenton Nelson before Seattle completed his trade from Indianapolis.

The 30‑year‑old, a 2018 first‑round pick who broke the guard salary record with a four‑year, $80 million extension in 2023, has appeared in six games for the Colts this season at left guard.

In 2026 he has logged 31 tackles, four sacks, a fumble recovery and three passes defended in seven games. San Francisco, which originally drafted him, is listed as a top candidate for a reunion.
