Packers Steal Franklin, Colts Lose | Green Bay Packers News

The Packers pulled off a masterstroke in the offseason trade for Zaire Franklin, snagging a Pro Bowl linebacker from the Colts without giving up a draft pick or key player. In return, they sent Colby Wooden—a backup DT who’s now being released by Indianapolis—so the move essentially turned into a free win. Franklin has already stepped up as a leader and brought much-needed intensity to Green Bay’s defense. While there’s chatter about possibly bringing Wooden back, roster crunch makes it unlikely. Bottom line: the Packers came out ahead big time, while the Colts are left with nothing but regret. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
