If Colts sell, no player is expected to be 'off-limits,' says NFL insider

The Indianapolis Colts could potentially be open for business at the NFL trade deadline this year.

According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, if the Colts do end up selling, "no player is expected to be off-limits."

Pelissero added that Quenton Nelson and DeForst Buckner have already received strong trade interest from other teams.

The Colts have received strong trade interest in Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and no player is expected to be off-limits – if they decide to sell before the Nov. 10 deadline.

Sitting at 2-4 and having just fired GM Chris Ballard, the Colts' season is currently hanging in the balance. However, asIan Rapoport

recently spoke about, whether or not the Colts sell at the trade deadline will be determined by how the next few weeks unfold.

Like owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon said in a statement following the Ballard firing, the Colts goals for the 2026 season remain the same. So the team does still want to see if Shane Steichen can turn things around.

That said, if things continue to spiral in the coming weeks, the Colts could quickly become sellers with their eyes on the future.

Up next for the Colts are road matchups against 5-0 Minnesota and 4-2 Jacksonville.

In addition to Nelson and Buckner, Jonathan Taylor and Grover Stewart are two other potential trade candidates.
