"The Rams were relieved to get the word that he was signing off on the deal that they discussed on Saturday." @AdamSche Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Aaron Donald has ended his retirement and rejoined the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year agreement. The Rams received his decision after discussing the deal on Saturday.

Why it matters: The contract structure signals that Aaron Donald's return is tied to meaningful performance and team milestones. A $30 million ceiling makes this a commitment to impact, not a ceremonial reunion.
