The Seahawks hope their trade for Quenton Nelson will have an impact on their entire offense over the rest of the season and it will have an immediate impact on two of his new teammates. <\/p>\n

Anthony Bradford is heading<\/a> to the bench because the team is moving Grey Zabel from left guard to right guard to allow Nelson to remain in the position he\u2019s played for his entire NFL career. On Thursday, Zabel admitted to \u201ca lot of emotions\u201d about the change but said that the prevailing one is that it will allow him to grow as a player. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, I\u2019ll do whatever\u2019s best for the team<\/a>,\u201d Zabel said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cGet to learn from an unbelievable player, person, leader, as Q is. And at the end of the day, it\u2019s going to be such a growing experience for me, kind of move positions as well as be able to learn from a guy like that. And at the end of the day, just become a better football player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Picking up the nuances of a different position in a couple of days isn\u2019t the easiest of asks, but Zabel will have to do it and he could be there for a while. Nelson\u2019s in the final year of his contract and a new deal with the Seahawks will leave the right side as Zabel\u2019s domain for quite some time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seahawks hope their trade for Quenton Nelson will have an impact on their entire offense over the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900146,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-900145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
