Aaron Donald Ends His 2 1/2-Year Retirement and Returns to the Los Angeles Rams
- On Sunday, August 30, 2026, three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald announced he is ending his two-season retirement to rejoin the Los Angeles Rams for the 2026 season.
- Head coach Sean McVay's discussions with Donald and the team's blockbuster June trade for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett prompted the defensive tackle's decision to return.
- Donald signed a one-year, $20 million deal with incentives worth up to $30 million; the Rams must clear at least $13.3 million in cap space to accommodate the salary by 4:00 p.m. ET.
- McVay is taking a day-by-day approach to Donald's availability, leaving his status uncertain for the Week 1 opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia on September 11.
- Pairing with Garrett positions the Rams as Super Bowl contenders for a second title under McVay, while Donald's return resets his Pro Football Hall of Fame eligibility clock to 2032.
