Zaire Franklin is excited about his future with the Green Bay Packers. After eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, where he earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2024, he's ready for a new chapter. The Colts traded him to Green Bay for Colby Wooden. Franklin shared his experience during an interview, explaining that he was honored in Philadelphia for his volunteer work when his agent informed him of the trade news. He mentioned that the Colts were planning to move on, and soon after, he received a call from Ballard, who gave him and his agent the freedom to choose the best opportunity. Franklin expressed his gratitude for the way the situation was handled and is looking forward to competing for a Super Bowl with the Packers. He believes that with a good quarterback and pass-rush, the team has a strong chance. He participated in 132 games, starting 82, and made 738 tackles.
