Could Cincinnati Bengals DT Geno Atkins’ new deal affect the Los Angeles Rams’ negotiations with DL Aaron Donald?

DT Geno Atkins has re-signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on a four-year deal for $65.3 over the course of the deal.

Perhaps most interesting is the breakdown:

Geno Atkins: 4-year extension for $65.3M, $25.5M in first year, per source. More than 50% contract($37.5M) paid in first 2 years. $16.3M yearly average is highest yearly average signed by a 30+ year old non-QB in NFL history.

What’s relevant here for Los Angeles Rams fans, obviously, is the ongoing contractual negotiations with DL Aaron Donald.
