Rumors that star defensive lineman Aaron Donald is open to retiring this year have been rampant since the morning of the Super Bowl. This could be nothing more than a rumor without merit, it could be posturing for a new contract, or Donald could be seriously considering a massive change in his life that leads to an early retirement.
But if it is posturing for a new contract, what would that cost the Los Angeles Rams and at what point should they tell the best defensive player of his generation, “No”?
Right now, Aaron Donald is on a six-year, $135 million contract with $86.
