In a surprise to many, the Indianapolis Colts currently hold the best record in the NFL with a 6-1 record.
Indy’s offense has been averaging 33.1 points per game this season, the best in the league. The team is being led by quarterback Daniel Jones, who is having a bounce-back season under head coach Shane Steichen.
Running back Jonathan Taylor leads the league in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, rookie Tyler Warren leads all tight ends in receiving yards and the offensive line has only let up six sacks through seven games this season.
The Colts’ defense should not go unrecognized, only allowing 20 points per game to opposing offenses this season, which ties them for the eighth-lowest in the league.
Indianapolis is starting to be taken as a serious Super Bowl contender, but one NFL writer believes the team should make one addition to help secure a chance at the Lombardi trophy.
Trading For Playing In The AFC North

Linebacker Zaire Franklin has been one of the Indianapolis Colts’ defensive players the past three seasons. Franklin has recorded three straight seasons with over 100 tackles before the start of 2025.
The linebacker currently has the second most tackles on the team, behind safety Nick Cross, with 42 tackles. The next three? Coming from the secondary.
FanSided’s Christopher Kline believes that if the Colts trade for Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson, it can help the team make a playoff run.
“The Indianapolis Colts’ offense is humming right now, flowing more seamlessly than any other group in the NFL. Where the Colts can really make some gains at the trade deadline is on defense, especially when it comes to the pass rush. The Bengals are about ready to throw in the towel. Logan Wilson is facing a demotion as Cincy embraces its youth movement and tries to reinvigorate a patchwork defense. That makes the 31-year-old, under salary at an affordable $5.4 million price tag in 2026, a logical target for Indy,” Kline wrote.
“Wilson has seen a decline in impact over the last couple years, in part due to injury, but he’s a versatile linebacker who notched four interceptions and 135 tackles in 2023. He can plug a lot of holes for the Colts and give their defense a better shot to hold down the fort for Daniel Jones and Indianapolis’ high-octane offense.”
Logan Wilson Reuniting With Familiar Face

If Logan Wilson were to be traded to the Indianapolis Colts, he would have the third-most tackles on the team and second-most at the linebacker spot with 41 tackles.
He would provide an immediate impact on the Colts’ defense.
Wilson knows the defensive scheme Indianapolis runs, as defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo used to hold the same position with Cincinnati and has been coached by him for five seasons.
The linebacker recorded four 100+ tackle seasons under Anarumo, with two of those seasons logging over 120.
If the Colts were to pull the trigger on acquiring the linebacker, he wouldn’t need too much time getting used to the defense and play, maybe as soon as the team asks of him.
Colts’ linebaacker room hasn’t been too productive this season, but a former Anarumo defender can make the switch happen.
