The Los Angeles Rams finally got it right with Aaron Donald. After two exhibition seasons with their best player holding out, both sides got together on a deal that could keep Donald with LA for the next seven years.
The deal is worth $135 million, of which $87 million is guaranteed. Perhaps most important is that it is the richest defensive deal in the history of the NFL.
It is also absolutely deserved for the most dominant defensive lineman in the league.
The good news for fans, and probably bad for the teams on the Rams schedule, is he’ll be ready for the Monday Night opener when Los Angeles plays on the road against the Oakland Raiders.
