Colts trade All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson to Seahawks, AP source says

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- The Indianapolis Colts have traded All-Pro guard Quenton
Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, a person with knowledge of the deal told The
Associated Press on Tuesday.
The person requested anonymity because the deal had not been announced by
either team and said the Colts would receive a third-round draft pick and a
fifth-round pick in return for the eight-time Pro Bowler.
Nelson can become a free agent in March, but had not said much about what his
future plans were because he was focused on finishing this season strong.
It's the second major move in two weeks for Indy (2-5), which has lost three
straight and 12 of its past 14 overall. The Colts fired general manager Chris
Ballard last week following a loss to the previously winless Tennessee Titans
at home. Assistant general manager Ed Dodds has replaced Ballard for now.
Nelson was the No. 6 overall pick in 2018 and joined linebacker Darius Leonard
on the All-Pro team, making the duo the first rookie teammates to earn All-Pro
honors since former Chicago Bears teammates Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus in
1965. Nelson was an All-Pro from 2018 to 2020.
The Colts visit Jacksonville (4-2) on Sunday while the Seahawks (4-3) host
Chicago (5-2) on Monday night.
