The Indianapolis Colts are re-signing linebacker Zaire Franklin to a three-year, $12 million deal, according to Doug Kyed.
As a 17-game starter for the Colts last season, Franklin had an interception, 40 combined tackles, 21 solo tackles and one tackle for loss.
According to Joel A. Erickson, Franklin’s new deal includes $4 million guaranteed.
A special teams captain over the last two seasons; Franklin is one of several respected voices inside Indy’s locker room; as Erickson notes, while also playing such a key role in helping the Colts’ special teams unit rank amongst the best in the league.
