told Rich Eisen<\/a> that he reached out to Donald and told him he needs to stay retired.<\/p>\n\u201cI already texted him and told him he\u2019s not allowed. So we\u2019re good,\u201d Kupp joked. \u201cI texted Aaron and said, \u2018Don\u2019t even think about it.\u2019 I left it at that, so we\u2019re good. I\u2019m not worried about it. I already nipped it in the bud. No one has to worry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kupp said the Seahawks know they\u2019re going to have their hands full this season with the players already on the Rams, and an already tough defense adding Donald is something Kupp does not want to see.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen. I love Aaron. He\u2019s such a good football player, great dude.I loved taking the field with him in L.A. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen. That would be crazy. He\u2019s a very, very good football player. I don\u2019t care how old he is, how long he\u2019s not played, Aaron Donald is Aaron Donald. But it doesn\u2019t matter because I told him he can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kupp and Donald were teammates on the Rams from 2017 to 2023. Kupp has never played against Donald, and wants to keep it that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Talk that Aaron Donald could come out of retirement and return to the Rams had Seahawks wide receiver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":683708,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-683707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=683707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683707\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/683708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=683707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=683707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=683707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
