Colts Expected to Receive Major Trade Interest in Former Top-10 Pick

The Indianapolis Colts' poor start to the season continued in Week 6, as they lost to the Tennessee Titans by a 26-20 final score.

With this loss, the Colts now have a 2-4 record. They also fired general manager Chris Ballard after losing to the Titans, who were 0-5 before the game.

With the way the Colts' season is trending, it is looking likely that they will be sellers between now and the NFL trade deadline. Due to this, one of their stars is already creating chatter as a potential trade candidate.

According to ESPN's Jordan Reid, Colts guard Quenton Nelson is expected to generate interest around the NFL as the team continues to struggle.

"Lots of calls should be made about Quenton Nelson," Reid wrote on X. "I'm interested to see his value if they make him available. 30 years old and on an expiring contract."

With the Colts having a bad season, it makes sense that Nelson is being viewed as a prime trade candidate. The 6-foot-5 guard would have the potential to be a solid trade chip for the Colts. He is an eight-time Pro Bowler, after all, so he would be a nice pickup for any contender.

The Colts trading Nelson would certainly be a significant move for their franchise. He was selected by Indianapolis with the sixth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft and has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the franchise because of it. However, with the Colts struggling so much, the possibility of him being moved is certainly there. It will be interesting to see if they deal him from here.
