Colts Trade DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson Ahead of NFL Deadline
The NFL trade deadline has prompted significant moves from the Indianapolis Colts, who traded defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers and guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks.
In the deal, the Colts received a fourth-round pick for Buckner, who has been a key player for the team with four sacks and 31 tackles this season. The 49ers, looking to enhance their pass rush, expect Buckner to complement Nick Bosa, who is recovering from injury.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks acquired Nelson, an eight-time Pro Bowler, to strengthen their offensive line. This trade marks the beginning of a rebuilding phase for the Colts, who are seeking to accumulate draft picks following a disappointing season.
