Zaire Franklin: Packers

I think Indy changed defensive scheme last season and Zaire didn’t fit it as well. He fits in Green Bay’s and the Colts made cap room. He will do well in Green Bay
I read the same.
I wonder how long before he ascends to a captaincy in Green Bay.
 
He makes a lot of tackles but as a Bengal fan - the only guy who kept us from sweeping all the medals in most missed tackles this year was Zaire.

Yeah…he doesn’t have a lot of tread left on his tires. The high tackles are partly due to him being weak in coverage and getting the tackle after the guy he was covering caught the 5 yd check down. His PFF grades are not great. The upside is on a defense with other playmakers, he’s unlikely to be a guy who breaks down and gives up a huge play - so he’s a better fit in Green Bay. I’d be a little concerned about his salary though, you need to be more of a playmaker to justify what he makes than he is capable of doing.
