Aaron Donald will not only be back with the Los Angeles Rams next season, but he’ll remain with them for several more years to come. The Rams and Donald agreed to terms on a reworked contract, locking in the three-time Defensive Player of the Year.
According to Ian Rapoport, Donald gets a $40 million raise through 2024, which are the final three years of Donald’s contract. He now gets $95 million through 2022, averaging more than $30 million per year.
He’s the first defender ever to top that number, making him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
