Aubrayo Franklin leaves Chargers

Former San Diego defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday.
Franklin played in 12 games for the Chargers last season and filled a nice role on the defensive line. The Chargers liked Franklin but they have some young defensive linemen such as Kendall Reyes and Cam Thomas on the line, so Franklin was expendable.

This was Williamson's opinion. I can't read anything into this other than Franklin was caught in the numbers game, like Mathews, and the team had younger options. 10 yr vets are pretty expensive, even at the minimum.
