Trade Deadline Tidbits: Do Seahawks Have Another Move Coming Before November 10?

Once the calendar flips to October, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider always has his eye on ways to improve his football team, and this year already has proven to be no exception to the rule.

After acquiring the likes of Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones, and Rashid Shaheed before the trade deadline over the previous three seasons, Schneider again pulled the trigger to land a massive upgrade on Monday, shipping a 2027 third round pick and 2028 fifth round pick to the Colts for six-time All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson. The ex-Notre Dame star will make his Seahawks debut on Monday Night Football against the Bears, adding an elite talent to an already solid offensive line.

With Schneider orchestrating the Nelson trade two weeks before the deadline, the Seahawks still have time to make an additional move or two. But does Schneider have a second trade in the works before November 10? Or will the defending champs sit pat?

Here's what I've heard on previously reported interest in a big-name running back, the possibility of moving a popular veteran, and more leading up to the deadline:

1. Don't expect the Seahawks and Colts to swing another mega deal involving Jonathan Taylor.

Mere days after Nelson arrived at the VMAC as Schneider's latest trade deadline prize, reports surfaced linking the Seahawks to Taylor, the uber-productive star running back who could be the next player jettisoned by the reeling Colts.

Speaking with a source connected to the Colts, however, Seattle's interest in Taylor "started and ended" during initial discussions with Indianapolis interim general manager Ed Dodds, who previously worked under Schneider as a scout with the Seahawks. Those conversations quickly pivoted to working out a trade for Nelson, who was the most coveted target of the two players for Schneider, and the two sides eventually struck a deal on that front.
