Overview
- Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Tuesday that Aaron Donald is considering a comeback but has not decided or signed, saying Donald is ‘going through his process.’
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Donald remains under an active contract that would pay roughly $30 million for 2026, meaning the team and player must renegotiate or restructure money and cap obligations before any return.
- Reporting shows Donald has been working out at the Rams’ Woodland Hills facility and would likely face conditioning checks and a limited or specialist snap plan if he signs.
- Former teammates and analysts are publicly split, with some urging Donald to return for closure and others warning a comeback could complicate chemistry with newly acquired Myles Garrett and rotation plans.
- Donald retired after the 2023 season following a decade of dominance, and the next steps to watch are contract talks, medical clearance, and whether the Rams adjust roster and salary‑cap decisions to add him back.
