The Los Angeles Rams acquired Myles Garrett, and rumors have swirled about a potential NFL return for star pass rusher Aaron Donald.
Nothing is official yet, but Rams head coach Sean McVay addressed that speculation during an interview with Jason LaCanfora of The Daily Flock podcast.
“I have crossed paths with Aaron Donald,” McVay said. “And what he’s going to do is, he is thinking about this. He’s going to go through his process. And the one thing about Aaron Donald is, what he does, he does it full speed ahead.”
The Rams sent Jared Verse and draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to acquire Garrett, essentially opening up LA’s Super Bowl window even more.
Since that trade, rumors have swirled about Donald coming out of retirement with eyes on another Super Bowl run.
Earlier in July, Donald was spotted at the Rams training facility. After the trade, Pat McAfee said Donald texted him saying that the trade got him thinking about a return, so there is plenty of smoke in regard to a reunion with LA.
Donald announced his decision to retire from the NFL in March of 2024, but he still looks to be in terrific shape and just turned 35 years old in May.
The Rams lost in the NFC Championship Game to the Seattle Seahawks but adding both Donald and Garrett would likely put them over the top in the NFC.
