Aaron Donald reportedly contemplated retirement after winning Super Bowl 56 last February. Ultimately, he decided to return to the field and continue a surefire Hall of Fame career.
His 2022 failed to capitalize on that momentum. He played only 11 games due to injury and finished the year with a career-low five sacks. So in an offseason where rumors swirled that head coach Sean McVay might step away from the game — rumors McVay refuted by announcing he’d return for 2023 — it was fair to wonder whether the 31-year-old lineman would come back for a Rams team with an uncertain future.
