The Rams officially placed Donald on the reserve/retired list Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Donald announced his retirement from the NFL back in March, but it's taken until training camp for Los Angeles to make the requisite transaction official. The three-time DPOY retires with 111 career sacks under his belt and is a sure bet for Hall of Fame inauguration down the line.

Aaron Donald Latest News
Placed on reserve/retired list
The Rams officially placed Donald on the reserve/retired list Friday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Donald announced his retirement from the NFL back in March, but it's taken until training camp for Los Angeles to make the requisite transaction official. The three-time DPOY retires with 111 career sacks under his belt and is a sure bet for Hall of Fame inauguration down the line.
Announces retirement
Donald announced his retirement from football Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Donald had one season remaining on his contract and was due a $5 million roster bonus this weekend. He was still one of the best interior defensive linemen in the league in 2023, but retirement makes sense given that there's not a ton left to accomplish. Donald won three DPOY awards (2017, 2018, 2020) and a Super Bowl ring (2021), and he had at least eight sacks every season besides 2022 when he missed six games with an ankle injury. He retires two months before his 33rd birthday, sitting on 111 career sacks and locked in for a Hall of Fame spot. It's a massive loss for the Rams, though the blow is somewhat lessened by Kobie Turner's nine-sack rookie campaign in 2023.
