The Indianapolis Colts traded All-Pro linebacker Zaire Franklin to the Green Bay Packers earlier in the season to create cap space for the 2026 free agency.
Franklin was a key part of the Colts’ defense the last four seasons, recording four consecutive seasons of 125-plus tackles. With Franklin now in the NFC North, Indy had to reload at the linebacker spot.
Indianapolis addressed the situation in the offseason, but one NFL writer believes an undrafted free agent could be the difference-maker.
