Rams picking up Matthew Stafford’s option signals more reason for Aaron Donald return

AD, Come Back!

On Saturday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Rams will pick up Matthew Stafford’s 2023 option bonus, which also guarantees that Los Angeles is financially committed to the quarterback through 2024. On the heels of Sean McVay’s return announcement, it’s a sign that the organization is ready to move forward as if their championship window is open for at least two more years.

Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and Bobby Wagner are signed through 2026. And it’s all the more reason to believe that Aaron Donald will be in prime position to go out on top if he holds off retirement, rather than to exit through the SoFi gift shop having missed the last six games for a 5-12 team.
