The Rams and star defensive lineman Aaron Donald agreed to terms on a restructured contract that will make him the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback, a person with knowledge of the situation unauthorized to speak publicly about the deal said Monday.
Terms of the deal were not announced, but NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported that Donald is guaranteed $65 million over the next two seasons and $95 million through 2024.
Donald, a three-time NFL defensive player of the year and seven-time All-Pro, helped lead the Rams to a Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He was due to carry a salary-cap number of $26.75 million in 2022, according to overthecap.com.
