It has never been a better time to be a top-tier player in the NFL. The money coming in hot and fast each month is finally starting to resemble the NBA max-contract model. On Monday, defensive tackle Aaron Donald agreed to an extension to remain with the Los Angeles Rams and make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. The Rams reworked Donald's deal to give him a $40 million raise over the last three years of his existing contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
