Donald, who previously retired in March 2024, signed a one-year deal on August 30 that could reach $30 million with incentives. Despite having been away from the NFL for two seasons, Donald is being considered by Parsons as a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year. The Rams also bolstered their defense by acquiring reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.
