Aaron Donald Mulls NFL Return to Team up with Myles Garret on Rams: 'I’m for Sure Flirting with the Idea'

Pat McAfee said Donald is considering a return after Garrett’s arrival, with the retired star saying the move got him thinking.

  • On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams acquired two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster trade, sending defensive end Jared Verse and three future draft picks.
  • Retired Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald told Pat McAfee he is considering leaving retirement after the acquisition, describing the potential of joining an 'unimaginable defensive lineup' with Garrett.
  • Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Tuesday he remains in close contact with Donald, stating, 'Interested, there is no question,' regarding bringing the former star back.
  • Donald, who retired in March 2024, acknowledged he hasn't played professional football in two years, telling McAfee he 'gotta see if that fire can light back up' before deciding.
  • Garrett is under contract through the 2030 NFL season with a four-year, $160 million extension, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history alongside quarterback Matthew Stafford.
