What happened: The Indianapolis Colts have shifted into full sell mode by trading away two respected veterans after dismissing their general manager. Additional veteran players are now available for acquisition following Sunday's 16-10 road loss on Oct. 25.

Why it matters: Dropping three consecutive games has pushed Indianapolis down the conference standings midway through the 2026 regular season. Moving veteran contracts now clears salary cap space and stockpiles draft picks for the next front office regime.

By the numbers: Indianapolis stands at 2-5 (12th seed, L3 streak) after a 16-10 loss on Oct. 25, with two veteran players already dealt.

What to watch: Rival front offices have until the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline to complete deals for remaining Indianapolis veterans.
