If you're trading Quenton Nelson for a third and a fifth two weeks out from the trade deadline, then I think you are in FULL fire sale mode. I don't think it's terrible compensation or anything. Just mean they aren't hesitating. Feels like the Colts are all in.

The Colts will receive a 2027 third-round pick and 2028 fifth-round round pick from the Seahawks in exchange for Quenton Nelson, per multiple reports.
BREAKING: The defending champion Seahawks are trading for eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson, per @AdamSchefter and @RapSheet. With Nelson's contract set to expire, the Colts are choosing to get draft capital in return.

Quenton Nelson is a likely future Hall of Famer, a player who has been a pillar of the Colts for nearly a decade. By moving him so quickly, Indianapolis is signaling that the full teardown everybody expected after Chris Ballard's firing has already begun indystar.com/story/sports/nf…

The #Colts would’ve gotten compensatory-pick compensation if they lost Quenton Nelson in free agency but it wouldn’t have arrived until 2028. Trading him to the #Seahawks now gives them a third-round pick in this coming draft. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/5029…

Terrible trade. Fuckin awful. What the fuck are we doing man? He's a top 5 guard in football, maybe higher. Just keep him and pay him if you aren't getting at least a 2nd rounder. Fleeced. xitter.cf/AdamSchefter/status/21…
Compensation update; The Seahawks are sending a 2027 third-round pick and 2028 fifth-round round pick to the Colts in exchange for Quenton Nelson.

The end of an era. This was Quenton Nelson last week on his time in Indy. One of the best players I’ve ever seen up close. Future Hall of Famer if I have anything to say about it.

If the return here feels light for a 3x All-Pro, a few reminders: This is an expiring contract with a $20M+ per year follow-up deal likely in the cards. The Colts clearing $9.7M of cash & cap (which can rollover) is significant for a mid-season trade.

Yeah that sauce trade is all time bad. That pick may end up top 10 or better lmao.
The Colts sell-off, and performance the rest of the season, is important for Jets fans to follow. The Jets own the Colts' 2027 first round pick, via the Sauce Gardner trade.

Was told by a few sources the price for Quenton Nelson would be around a second or third-round pick. Turned out true with a 2027 three and a 2028 five coming from Seattle. Same people thought RB Jonathan Taylor would cost a second-round pick and possibly more.

Five days ago, Quenton Nelson was asked if he wants to continue his career with the #Colts: “Yeah, I Iove it here. Met my wife here. Really appreciate and love this organization. It’s been a long career here. And made a lot of friendships …” But this is a business, after all.

Not many guards are considered one of the faces of the franchise, but Quenton Nelson has been that for the Colts. but Indy was't all that aggressive in getting an extension done this offseason with Nelson and he was slated to be a free agent after the season. It's rare an OL player is available at the deadline and the Seahawks jumped at it with the extra capital they had in the upcoming draft.

Colts are officially in full fire sale mode now. Have to move DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart by the deadline. Jonathan Taylor isn’t a must move but I’m hoping for a decent return there. Anyone else on an expiring deal not named Tomi should be fair game
