Colts trade Quenton Nelson to Seahawks, DeForest Buckner to 49ers; WISH‑TV contributor reacts

The Indianapolis Colts announced on 2026-10-28 that they traded All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a 2027 third‑round pick and a 2028 fifth‑round pick, and separately dealt defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2027 fourth‑round pick, according to the team’s transaction notices on Colts.com.

WISH‑TV reported both moves happened the same day, noted Nelson and Buckner were in contract years, and said the trades came less than two weeks before the NFL’s Nov. 10, 2026 trade deadline; the station published a local contributor’s reaction to the deals and what they could mean for the Colts’ roster moving forward. (WISH‑TV did the contributor piece.)
