Rams' Myles Garrett trade sparks contract debate, Aaron Donald comeback talk

The Los Angeles Rams acquired edge‑rusher Myles Garrett, turning the team into a Super Bowl favorite after a blockbuster trade. Garrett's new five‑year, $208.2 million contract contains eight void years—a figure well above the NFL's typical four‑year limit—prompting a wave of fan outrage and calls for stricter cap rules.

The trade also revived speculation that Hall of Famer Aaron Donald could return from retirement to rejoin the Rams alongside Garrett. NFL insider Adam Schefter said it is "more likely than not" that Donald could play for Los Angeles in 2026, citing the appeal of playing with another future Hall of Famer and the Super Bowl being hosted in LA.

Both stories highlight the Rams' aggressive roster moves and the broader debate over NFL contract structuring.
