Aaron Donald is an American professional football defensive tackle who spent 10 seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
He spent his whole career with the Rams, which were based in both St. Louis and Los Angeles. He played college football at Pittsburgh, where he was named unanimous All-American, and the Rams took him in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft.
What did Aaron Donald ament in his contract before going on retirement?
While Aaron Donald‘s retirement means he will not play for the Los Angeles Rams in 2024, he will benefit the franchise financially.
According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, Donald and the Rams restructured his contract before the 10-time Pro Bowler announced his retirement.
“Per a source with knowledge of the terms, the Rams restructured the deal on Tuesday, March 12,” Florio wrote. “Specifically, the Rams converted a $5 million guaranteed roster bonus to a signing bonus. The Rams also converted the bulk of his $10 million salary to an option bonus, dropping the base salary to the minimum of $1.21 million.”
According to Florio, it will increase the Rams’ cap room by $9.1 million in 2024.
According to Over The Cap, the Rams will have more than $30 million in cap space with this restructuring. It also implies that Donald’s appointment will not be made official until June 1.
While the extra room will be beneficial to the Rams as they seek to replace Donald, the effort itself will be practically difficult. He has eight All-Pro selections, three defensive player of the year accolades, and helped lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl LVI triumph.
He recorded 340 solo tackles, 260 quarterback hits, and 111 sacks. He was very effective in 2023, with eight sacks and 23 quarterback hits, helping the Rams return to the postseason after missing out in 2022.
Los Angeles will have the No. 19 pick in the first round in 2024, and drafting a defensive lineman could be an appealing option. Regardless, Donald’s shoes will not be easily filled.
