Rams Make Aaron Donald NFL's Highest-Paid Non-QB

NFL Offseason - We don't generally put up extra points for contract extensions, but Aaron Donald is the exception to a lot of rules. The Los Angeles Rams have re-worked the contract of the NFL's best defender, officially making him the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that the new contract will grant Donald a $40 million raise over the next three seasons. He will be guaranteed $65 million over the next two years, with an option in 2024 to either retire or return for a guaranteed $30 million.
