What happened: Donald’s return to the Los Angeles Rams is official on a one-year contract after his retirement ended. Playoff incentives can lift the agreement’s value to $30 million.
Why it matters: The contract gives Los Angeles a veteran defensive presence for the 2026 season while tying a third of its maximum value to postseason benchmarks.
By the numbers: The $10 million in incentives represents one-third of the deal’s $30 million maximum value.
What to watch: Donald is eligible for the Rams’ Sept. 10 opener.
