The Colts have moved up the action by two weeks, making a surprise trade with the Seahawks and 49ers.
I'm left stunned by the Colts' bold move to shake up the NFL trade market. The team has traded guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers, just two weeks before the Nov. 10 deadline.
Colts Trade Deadline Surprise: Unprecedented Move Made Publicly
The Colts had previously not traded their first-round pick to the Jets, but have now made a surprise move by trading it to the Seahawks instead.
The NFL moved its trade deadline back one week in 2024, giving teams more time to make deals. However, the Colts have taken advantage of this extra time to make some big moves.
The Colts' decision to trade Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner just two weeks before the Nov. 10 deadline is a huge gamble, especially considering they gave up their first-round pick to the Jets earlier in the season.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around why the Colts would make such a bold move, especially when you consider that Nelson and Buckner were key players on the team's defense. Did they get lowballed by other teams or was this just a desperate attempt to shake up the trade market?
The Bears' decision to convince the Titans to be early sellers is also raising some eyebrows - trading two first-round picks for Jeffery Simmons is a steep price, even if it means getting an extra game out of him. What's next for these teams and will anyone else join the sellers' market before the deadline?
Several teams are clear sellers and others have two weeks to decide on their next move. The Bears convinced the Titans to be early sellers, seizing a chance to get an extra game out of All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons even if it meant trading two first-round picks to do so.
