Part of situation: Aaron Donald officially rejoins Los Angeles Rams (46 clusters)

Aaron Donald rejoins Los Angeles Rams after retirement

Aaron Donald Los Angeles Rams NFL comeback Myles Garrett retirement

Aaron Donald has officially ended his retirement to rejoin the Los Angeles Rams for the 2026 NFL season. The 35-year-old defensive tackle, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and eight-time All-Pro selection, signed a one-year contract valued at $20 million, which includes playoff incentives that could increase the total to $30 million.

Donald’s return follows a two-year absence from the league after retiring in early 2024. His comeback is bolstered by the Rams' recent acquisition of defensive star Myles Garrett, creating a formidable defensive line pairing. Head coach Sean McVay noted that while Donald is back, there is no set timetable for his return to game action, as the team evaluates his readiness for the upcoming season, which includes a season opener in Melbourne, Australia.

Donald, who spent his entire 10-year career with the Rams prior to his retirement, joins a roster that includes players like Byron Young and Kobie Turner. The move is seen as a strategic effort by the Rams to contend for another Super Bowl title.
