Been waiting on this.

Zaire had been really hoping for a new deal.

He didn’t wanna say it publicly but he made it clear he’d earned it.

The Colts clearly agreed.

Prior to this, Franklin was scheduled to make a $2.88 million base salary this season, the last year of what he once described as a "special teams contract" because it was signed before he became a full-time starter.
