Seattle is poised to have five compensatory picks in 2027 from the free-agent losses of Boye Mafe, Kenneth Walker, Tariq Woolen and Coby Bryant.
They’ll also receive a third-round pick after executive Nolan Teasley became Minnesota’s GM.
That flexibility has allowed Seattle to be aggressive in the trade market, and now they land Quenton Nelson. · Quoting Adam Schefter: Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency.
