Did Aaron Donald retire?
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year appeared to update his Twitter bio on Sunday afternoon during Super Wild Card Weekend, suggesting he was no longer a Los Angeles Ram.
Minutes later, he quickly updated the bio once more, back to what it was previously.
There were rumors about the 31-year-old Donald retiring prior to this past season, which would’ve happened after winning last year’s Super Bowl with the Rams.
Donald has been a Pro Bowler in all nine seasons of his NFL career. Michael Owens/Getty ImagesHe reportedly even sent in his retirement papers before agreeing to a massive raise, which included $95 million over three seasons — the first of which concluded last week. He was originally set to make $55 million over the three-year period. The deal made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport.
The Rams went on to be one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this season, going 5-12. Donald had five sacks in 11 games played.
