Indianapolis Colts kicker Spencer Shrader has been mentioned in a trade proposal that would send him to an NFC North team, according to a report published Wednesday. The 2026 season has seen Shrader handling placekicking duties for the Colts, including a field goal attempt captured during Indianapolis' game at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on October 11.
The trade pitch comes as NFL teams evaluate special teams performance heading into the second half of the regular season. Shrader, wearing number 3 for Indianapolis, has been the team's primary kicker through the early weeks of the campaign.
No official trade has been announced by the Colts or any NFC North franchise, which includes the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings. The proposal appears to be speculative analysis rather than a reported imminent transaction.
