Overview
- Donald formally worked out with the Los Angeles Rams and his activity was listed on the NFL transaction wire on Wednesday, a procedural step triggered because he used team equipment and wore a helmet during the session.
- The workout did not include pads, did not produce a roster signature, and both Donald and the Rams say no final unretirement decision has been made.
- A key obstacle for any signing remains roughly $30–31 million tied to Donald’s existing contract, meaning the team and player must agree on restructuring or other salary‑cap mechanics before he can rejoin the roster.
- Rams officials describe Donald’s training as ramping up and trending positively, while Donald has also signed with Envisionary and begun developing a docuseries that would advance his off‑field media plans regardless of the football outcome.
- If he signs, pairing Donald with newly acquired Myles Garrett would materially boost Los Angeles’s pass rush, but insiders are divided on whether Donald will play a full season or a limited‑snap specialist role.
