Four Other Teams Showed Trade Interest In Quenton Nelson

Kevin Seifert believes the Vikings had some interest in acquiring Nelson as well. 

Seattle acquired Nelson on an expiring deal for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.

Nelson, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Colts out of Notre Dame in the 2018 NFL Draft. He was entering the fourth year of a four-year, $23.888 million rookie contract that included a $15.543 million signing bonus when the Colts exercised Nelson’s fifth-year option, worth $13.8 million in 2022. 

Nelson was set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2023 when he signed a four-year, $80 million extension, breaking the record for a guard at the time. 

In 2026, Nelson has played six games at left guard for the Colts.
