Would Aaron Donald end retirement to help the Rams win a title?
LA TimesHe’s out there, looming, hovering. I know the world’s talking about, ‘He might come back for a playoff run if the Rams make it.’ But I’m like, I’m done, I’m at peace with everything.” Now, here’s a more detailed opinion from Rams general manager Les Snead, who famously brought safety Eric Weddle out of a two-year retirement during the playoffs to help the Rams win the Super Bowl after the 2021 season. But we’d say an ‘A’ or ‘A-minus’ Aaron Donald is still pretty darn good.” Once again, Snead dismissed the idea … kind of. However… “I think because Aaron is so principled, let’s say this group got into the tournament; he’d have a moral dilemma of, ‘Is this the right thing to do because I wasn’t part of the journey?’” Snead said. “To come in here and put this franchise on his back, he’s exceeded expectations to handle that moment and the pressure that comes with that.” They have other powerful offensive weapons, with Kyren Williams second only to San Francisco’s Christian McCaffrey after shouldering the brunt of the running game starting in Week 4, and with both a sound Cooper Kupp and emerging Puka Nacua forming a perfectly complementary receiving group.
