How’s this for a juicy little nugget this morning to get us all excited for no reason? As you’ve surely heard, Pittsburgh native Aaron Donald just because the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history at the age of 31—but not before giving very serious consideration toward walking away from the game.
Donald had three years left on his contract at $55 million in total. The Los Angeles Rams upped that to $95 million, giving him a $40 million pay raise without adding any new years, paying him $65 million through two and guaranteeing all of that.
2024, however, is not guaranteed at all, so it’s effectively a two-year deal.
