Aaron Donald Considers Return to Los Angeles Rams

Former Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, 35, who retired in June 2024 after a ten‑year career that included three Defensive Player of the Year awards, is reportedly weighing a comeback with Los Angeles. Multiple league sources cited by the California Post and ESPN’s Adam Schefter say Donald has been in contact with head coach Sean McVay and is “thinking about it” as training camp approaches. Schefter noted, “The idea here is, Donald himself has floated that he could potentially return to Los Angeles.”

The Rams, already featuring Myles Garrett on the defensive line, view Donald as a potential final piece for a Super Bowl push. Donald posted a one‑word Instagram video captioned “Work,” prompting fan speculation. If he returns, the pair would join two Defensive Player of the Year winners on the same front, though the team would likely limit his snap count. The Rams hold Donald’s rights and could negotiate a new contract should he decide to resume his career.
