Aaron Donald retires

3 Likes

" Needless to say, Donald almost certainly isnā€™t retiring after making this adjustment to his contract, so the Rams are in good shape along the defensive line still.

According to Over The Cap, Los Angeles now has $19 million in cap space, but that doesnā€™t account for the contracts of Colby Parkinson, Darious Williams or Kamren Curl."

You just never knowā€¦.

Biggest up the gut punch of all time

Yeah that ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  with their offseason badly now

1st ballott HOF, no question about that.

I loved watching him play, even though he always brought back painful memories of one of the worst draft decisions the Lions have ever made.

Maybe we can trade them Onwuzurike for a 3rd. They canā€™t afford a top tier FA and theyā€™re too far down for the top rated DT.

They can always trade away their #1 as they havenā€™t drafted in RD 1 since they drafted Goff.

Original contract restructure was to pay him 95 mil through 3 season (22, 23 and 24) averaging 31,666,667.

Instead, heā€™s collected about 77 at an average of 38.5 mil per season for 22 and 23,

That was for a player that was verbally considering retirement already.

I would vote the Barry Sanders gut punch ahead of it.

This is close though.

Well, to keep my fun with Dall-E goingā€¦ and realizing this LOL is as epic as the confidence our team has infused in the base (or, maybe just me), hereā€™s a fitting response to this situationā€¦

I wonder if the Rams will go after his signing bonus . . . if Rod Wood was in charge, they would.

Was that all Tom W or was that a mandate from Martha or Bill Jr.

That was my first thought when I saw the headline on Yahoo.

Doesnā€™t look like it.
