NFL legend Aaron Donald is returning from retirement to play for the Los Angeles Rams, the only team he has represented in his professional career. The 35-year-old defensive tackle, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl champion with the Rams, stepped away from the game in March 2024 after a decade with the club. He rejoins a star-studded roster that already features reigning MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford and newly acquired pass-rusher Myles Garrett (the NFL's single-season sack record holder), with Donald set to earn up to $30m on a one-year deal — making the Rams one of the early favourites for this season's Super Bowl.
