Linebacker Zaire Franklin agreed to a three-year, $31.26 million contract with the Colts on Monday.
Franklin’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, trumpeted the agreement, which replaces the final year on his deal (2024) worth $3.36 million.
Franklin has 345 total tackles in three seasons, more than any player in the league except Jaguars linebacker Foye Oluokun, who joined Jacksonville after a breakout season with the Atlanta Falcons in 2021.
Franklin, 27, was a seventh-round pick (235th overall) in 2018 and primarily played special teams until entering the starting lineup for Shaq Leonard.
