Less than an hour after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Indianapolis Colts are shopping linebacker Zaire Franklin, the Dallas Cowboys surfaced as a potential destination.
Pro Football Talk’s Charean Williams called the Cowboys a “team to watch” with Franklin. Publicly, Franklin hit the trading block Thursday night.
“The Cowboys are a team to watch as they need linebackers for the switch to the 3-4 under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker,” wrote Williams.
Schefter didn’t mention any team names. But the ESPN insider wrote the Colts are already in trade discussions involving Franklin.
“The Colts are speaking with teams about a trade for their former Pro Bowl LB Zaire Franklin as they look to get under the salary cap by next week, per sources. Franklin led the NFL in tackles in 2024,” wrote Schefter on X.
Franklin has two seasons remaining of the 3-year, $31.26 million extension he inked with the Colts.
