Aaron Donald returns from retirement to sign with Los Angeles Rams

Aaron Donald has officially ended his retirement to sign a new contract with the Los Angeles Rams. The 35-year-old defensive player negotiated a one-year deal worth $20 million, with additional incentives that could bring the total value to $30 million. Donald, an eight-time First-Team All-Pro, had not played since the 2023 season but maintained interest in a return following a trade that brought Myles Garrett to the team this summer. He had been conducting workouts at the Rams' facility to prepare for a potential comeback. In his final season, Donald recorded 53 tackles and eight sacks. He now joins a roster that coach Sean McVay has positioned to compete immediately in the upcoming season.
