Rams coach cast doubt on report of imminent Aaron Donald deal
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay cast some doubt on a report that suggested an Aaron Donald deal was imminent.
CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported on Monday morning that he expects the Rams and Donald to reach agreement on a new deal by the end of the week.
Speaking from Rams practice later in the day, McVay said any talk of a deal being close is “news to us.”

Donald, who was the AP Defensive Player of the Year last year, is holding out for the second consecutive season. The 27-year-old is set to make just under $7 million in the final season of his rookie deal. He is deserving of a much larger contract from the Rams and is willing to wait until he is paid accordingly.
