Aaron Donald told Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report that he is considering a return.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m for sure flirting with the idea,\u201d Donald texted Schultz on Tuesday night. \u201cHelluva an opportunity with the Super Bowl in SoFi this year. If I can find the fire, it\u2019s a possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donald, 35, has not played since 2023 but started considering a return when the Rams traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett on Monday.<\/p>\n
Rams coach Sean McVay was asked Tuesday about the possibility of Donald coming back.<\/p>\n
\u201cListen, if he\u2019s interested,\u201d McVay said during Garrett\u2019s introductory news conference. \u201cHere\u2019s what I\u2019ll say: You talk to Aaron, and you see what he\u2019s saying about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
McVay admitted he has talked to Donald since the Rams traded for Garrett. <\/p>\n
\u201cHere\u2019s what I would tell you guys overall, too: Aaron is a guy that I stay really close in touch with, and I know the respect that he has for Myles,\u201d McVay said. \u201cTalked to him about the opportunity to bring [Garrett] on board. If Aaron decides he wants to dust \u2018em off at the age of 35, I bet you he can still do it at a pretty high clip.\u201d<\/p>\n
The biggest problem for the Rams would be fitting Donald under their salary cap. But you can bet they would figure out a way to get the three-time Defensive Player of the Year on the roster if he wants to return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aaron Donald told Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report that he is considering a return. \u201cI\u2019m for sure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":712132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-712131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=712131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/712132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=712131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=712131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
