Sean McVay Doesn’t Shoot Down Speculation on Aaron Donald Returning to Rams Alongside Myles Garrett

Fans are urging Aaron Donald to unretire, and the Rams have enough remaining cap space for a $1.3 million veteran-minimum deal, Spotrac said.

  • On Monday, the Los Angeles Rams acquired defensive star Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns, positioning the team as Super Bowl favorites at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
  • Retired defensive tackle Aaron Donald, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has been out of the league for two years following his 2023 departure and has previously stated he has no urge to return.
  • Cornerback Jaylen Watson publicly recruited Donald on social media following the trade, while former teammate Michael Brockers hinted on the "Locked on Rams" podcast that Donald is "staying ready."
  • Donald could sign as an unrestricted free agent; according to Spotrac, his veteran minimum contract would be valued at $1.3 million in 2026, making a financial return feasible.
  • Although pairing the 35-year-old with Garrett would create a formidable defense, Donald has frequently expressed contentment with his retirement, making a comeback remain speculative and potentially far-fetched.
