Aaron Donald deservedly becomes first defender to earn top-end QB money

Aaron Donald has spent the last eight years hunting down quarterbacks and making their lives incredibly difficult on a weekly basis. Now, he’ll finally make the same type of money they are.

The Rams rewarded Donald on Monday with a new three-year contract, ripping up the final three years of his previous deal. Rather than making $55 million over the next three seasons, Donald now has the chance to earn $95 million through 2024.

That’s a $40 million raise, and he deserves every penny of it.
