The Green Bay Packers are acquiring former Pro Bowl linebacker Zaire Franklin from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for defensive tackle Colby Wooden, multiple media outlets reported on Saturday.
Franklin, 29, is two seasons removed from leading the NFL with 173 tackles during a Pro Bowl year. He had 125 tackles to go along with two sacks while starting all 17 games in 2025.
A seventh-round pick out of Syracuse in the 2018 NFL Draft, Franklin has totaled 738 tackles, 10 sacks and 10 forced fumbles in 132 career games (82 starts) with the Colts.
Wooden, 25, recorded 50 tackles while playing in 17 games (16 starts) last season.
He has totaled 87 tackles in 47 career games (17 starts) since being selected by the Packers in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Auburn.
