Franklin is one of four players to have offers tabled on the first day of free agency.
Adelaide has submitted an offer for Carlton small forward Eddie Betts worth an estimated $2 million over four years. As a restricted free agent, the Blues have three days to decide if they will match the offer or let Betts go.
Colin Sylvia and Matt White have both joined new clubs as unrestricted free agents.
Fremantle lodged an official offer for former Demon Sylvia while Port Adelaide has offered ex-Tiger White a three-year deal.
As unrestricted free agents they are free to join their new clubs immediately.
No bid has been lodged yet for Collingwood star Dale Thomas, but he is expected to wear navy blue next season, despite Carlton and Collingwood insisting they are yet to be told of a decision.
Thomas is strongly favouring joining the Blues on a lucrative four-year deal worth just under $700,000 a season.
But Carlton is out of the race for Taylor Adams, with the highly-rated GWS youngster telling them he will now either stay with the Giants or cross to Collingwood or Geelong.
The Blues are also courting Victorian-born Fremantle midfielder Viv Michie and Hawthorn's Shane Savage, who could be acquired in a straight swap with ruckman Shaun Hampson.
The Thomas announcement is unlikely to be made this week, paving the way for the 26-year-old to attend tonight's Collingwood best-and-fairest only days before being unveiled as a Carlton player.
The Pies have also presented Thomas with a four-year contract, but will not challenge the Blues' offer when it lands.
Carlton has put Thomas through a thorough examination of his troublesome ankle, organising as many as three medicals.
Blues recruiting manager Shane Rogers said this week the club was "confident with what the doctors have told us".
Carlton coach Mick Malthouse, a long-time admirer of Thomas, believes the 2010 premiership and All-Australian will help address his side's often-overwhelmed midfield.
Malthouse said after the Blues' recent semi-final loss to Sydney that Carlon's lack of run this year had been "extraordinary".
"Dale is a good age player, he's got many years left in him," Malthouse said last month.
"I know how he plays. I love the way he plays, but that doesn't mean he's anywhere near over the line (in signing for Carlton)."
Collingwood is expected to gain pick No.11 in the national draft as compensation for losing Thomas.
