Breaking Down Colts’ Trade of Zaire Franklin to the Packers

The Colts are trading veteran linebacker Franklin to the Packers in a player-for-player swap for defensive tackle Colby Wooden. The trade clears roughly $5.7 million in cap space for the Colts, who needed to become cap-compliant. Franklin, the NFL’s 2024 tackle leader, serves as a direct replacement for pending free agent Quay Walker. Meanwhile, Indianapolis adds a 25-year-old interior defender in Wooden.
