Rams: New Timeline Emerges on Aaron Donald's Decision
The Los Angeles Rams are awaiting on the decision of defensive tackle Aaron Donald as the preseason rapidly approaches.
The Los Angeles Rams recently extended their search for Aaron Donald's decision to return for the team. Donald, a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, had a tryout with the Rams on Wednesday and impressed everyone. However, the exact timeline of his decision remains unclear as of this weekend. According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, Donald is expected to make his final decision by the end of this week, shifting from early expectations.
The Rams are not certain if they will pay Donald the $30 million he is owed for a potential return in 2026, which could delay the process. Rams head coach Sean McVay believes Donald is in good shape to assist the defense this season, although they cannot definitively say if he is ready. Donald, who played and started in all 16 games for the Rams in 2023, made 53 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and secured 8 sacks.
His return would be a significant addition to the already strong front seven that includes Myles Garrett.
