The Los Angeles Rams made headlines earlier this offseason when the team made a blockbuster trade for star pass rusher Myles Garrett.
Immediately following the news, fans wondered if the trade might entice Aaron Donald to come out of retirement. The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year teased potential comebacks in the past and stays in incredible shape, but the trade seemed to reinvigorate the idea of Donald making a comeback.
With just over a month until the start of the 2026 season, Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed his true thoughts about Donald coming out of retirement at 35 years old.

"But this is his decision," McVay said. "He's earned the right to be able to do it on his terms. And that's why I think you guys are seeing us take this approach. But I did not ever really think this would be something, but I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm not excited about the possibility of it."
While discussing the possible comeback with reporters, McVay revealed he initially reached out to Donald about a potential comeback while the team was discussing the trade for Garrett, but before they actually pulled the trigger.
Los Angeles is the current favorite to win the NFC and the Super Bowl. The Rams open the season with a divisional battle against the San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 10.
