A look at new Linebacker Zaire Franklin
The Packers made a trade about a week ago to boast their Linebacker core to get Zaire Franklin from the Colts.
In the trade, the Packers gave up Colby Wooden, a defensive tackle, who spent 3 years in Green Bay.
In Franklin, the Packers have someone who can step in and play right away under new Defensive Coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
The Packers knew they couldn’t keep Quay Walker, who left in Free Agency to the Raiders.
The Raiders gave Walker a three-year, $40.5 million deal, something the Packers didn’t want to offer Walker.
Especially with the amount of cap room the Packers had, they knew they couldn’t pay him.
