Aaron Donald’s agent sent retirement paperwork to Rams during the offseason, according to Ian Rapoport
Nearly four months ago, Rams star Aaron Donald was reportedly prepared to hang up his cleats and walk away from the game he loved.Thursday that Donald’s agent, Todd France of Athletes First, sent a letter to the Rams’ leadership during the offseason, stating that Donald’s retirement was supposedly “effective on May 9.”
However, the letter, one that was addressed to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, was never dispatched to the league office and remained unpublicized until now,. Instead of Donald’s retirement in early May, Frances advocated for a pay raise for the All-Pro defensive tackle that did not include more years to his contract. At the time, Donald had three years remaining on his initial six-year, $136 million extension that he signed in 2018.
While earning more money without adding more years to a contract rarely happens for defensive players, Donald was hoping to secure that. Even with his accolades that included a Super Bowl, three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year selections and a slew of Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections, the negotiations for his new deal were stalled at that point.
