Much was made about Aaron Donald potentially retiring when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl earlier this year, only for him to sign a new contract that pays him $95 million over the next three years. It’s a three-year deal that expires after the 2024 season, but $30 million of it doesn’t become guaranteed until the fifth day of the new league year in 2024.
Essentially, Donald can walk away after two years if he doesn’t want to continue playing, thus leaving $30 million on the table.
