What happened: The Indianapolis Colts are entertaining additional trade offers after dealing guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Those two moves netted Indianapolis a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection from Seattle, plus a 2027 fourth-round pick from San Francisco.

Why it matters: The roster overhaul follows Sunday's 16-10 loss at the Minnesota Vikings, which left Indianapolis 12th in the conference standings. Moving two cornerstone veterans for future selections prioritizes multi-year draft capital over competing during the remainder of the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Rival executives are monitoring running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the trade deadline before the Colts meet the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.
