Aaron Donald is arguably the most dominant defensive player in the NFL and is in need of a new contract by next offseason, or the Los Angeles Rams are going to find themselves in another situation like last summer. Donald is currently playing on his rookie deal where he is on his last year of a four-year, $10.1 million contract. This year alone, Donald will have a base salary of $6.9 million.
That seems like a little amount of money to pay a player of Donald’s status. To compare, Damon Harrison is making a base salary of $7.
