Aaron Donald Returns to Rams on One-Year Contract

Aaron Donald has rejoined the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year contract valued at $20 million, which includes up to $10 million in playoff incentives. This announcement comes as the Rams gear up for their Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia.

Donald, who has not played since 2023, recorded eight sacks that year and remains 35 years old. He has been training informally with the team since early August, although head coach Sean McVay has not confirmed whether he will participate in the season opener.

As a ten-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl champion, Donald holds the Rams' single-season sack record with 20.5 sacks achieved during his 2018 Defensive Player of the Year season. His return is anticipated to impact opposing offensive lines across the league.
