He's back and the rest of the NFL world might be in trouble. Just over two years ago, Aaron Donald officially walked away from the NFL after announcing his retirement in March 2024. However, on Sunday he agreed to a one-year, $20 million deal with playoff incentives that can raise the total value of the deal to $30 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Los Angeles Rams' decision to trade for longtime Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett initially launched the conversation about a potential comeback for Donald, who made it official this week after what he called a "long process" of using the past 14 weeks to prepare.

Just a day after the Rams traded for Garrett, Donald took to social media with a message for her followers – and the fans begging for her husband to come out of retirement. "Y’all are hilarious," she said, nearly three months before their wish ultimately came true. Donald is a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year with the last award coming in 2020.
