Rams' Aaron Donald may take contract holdout into regular season

The holdout of Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald may spill into the regular season, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Thursday.

A source speculated that he could envision Donald sitting out the entire 2017 season, though a lot can change in any negotiation in a hurry. But the fact that such strong speculation exists now provides a snapshot that the two sides are not particularly close to a deal.

Donald, who has 28 sacks in his three NFL seasons, is scheduled to make $1,802,250 this season and $6.
