I would be flabbergasted if Aaron Donald came back to the rams. That defensive line would be so dangerous. He looks happy and content in retirement though.
Braden Fiske did say in an interview recently that AD just showed up once at the facility to work out👀, doors are always open for him BUT I'm just sayin.....
Kobie turner Braden Fiske Jared verse Byron young Aaron Donald 😱 scary af
Wouldn’t hurt to try. Those LBs and DBs need all the help they can get.
Seahawks fan here. Note for Rich. "Shut up shut shut up!!!"
Note, hawks not making the playoffs
That’s your sorry opinion
Note for you. This is awesome men were going back to the Super Bowl 2026 or later
Rams house broski
Even if he wanted to come back he can’t , he would have to be released then. Picked up again ,but all other teams can pick him up before rams can .
COME ON BABY! GET AARON DONALD BACK! PLZ!!!
The Rams D line would then be called...." The Most Fearsome Foursome '
The Fearsome 2024some
That is not an overreaction. I'm here for it. The insane specimen Aaron Donald is, bet he's still in the gym 5 days a week and could pick right up and do damage for the Rams next week.
I think hes fine on his couch😂
Oh you're here for maybe the goat to come back?! shocking
Please, Please please Santa. Rams need AD BACK!
AD and Odell back would put the whole league on notice
Hes still under contract 🤷🏻♂️
Was under contract
@tanasdavid8220 Still is. He's not a free agent who can sign anywhere
@@CxDubxU ok
I smiled when I saw this headline. Been in the back of my mind since the day he retired
That's not the craziest thing I've heard. Add him with Jared Verse and Braden Fiske; they would be cooking.
Donald isn't coming back. He's more than content with retirement.
That would be huge for the locker room!
Stir it up! Would LOVE to see #99 back on the Rams for the playoffs!! GO RAMS!!
It would be CURTAINS for anybody facing us. GO RAMS!
Let’s do it Aaron!
Only 30 mins after watching rich talk about the rams making a playoff run I posted would Donald come back then he does this video. People will talk about it
Not having Aaron Donald isn't really the problem with the Rams defense. Would he help the pass rush? Sure. Run defense? Nope. The issue is with the secondary.
If the QB doesn't have time to throw the secondary doesn't matter.
That defense would be scary the new fearsome foursome 😅
I'd like to point out that the Rams CANT bring him out of retirement, the deadline was last week. Getting him back on the Rams would be convoluted and require him clearing waivers
I was “Like #99”. It’s a sign 🐏
This would be insane! Lol😄
Aaron Donald is the only man who can stop Mahomes from 3-peating.
Heard that he couldn't come back without going through waivers and nobody is turning down 99
I believe he is still under contract
Aaron, if your reading this - PLEASE COME BACK 99 !!!
It’s over for AD bc ERICA SAID SO!!!
Rams Fan 🏈🐏🏈 Make the Call Amigo !!!
It won't happen, Rich. When Aaron left, he explicitly left Ernest Jones in charge of the defense. He seemed to revel in the "will Aaron come back stories" and never refuted them. But the day after the Rams traded Ernest Jones, he explicitly said he was not coming back. For the most part, he chooses his words carefully.
He can't, some other team could claim him.
That would be insane
YES
According to your boy Florio. It is too late. They have to cut him and hope he doesn't get claimed by another team first. This happened in early 2000's when Deion Sanders wanted to come back, but I think either Raiders or Chargers claimed so he stayed retired(later he did play for the Ravens).
When Donald retired, I immediately thought HIS subconscious plans were to comeback late when the Rams locked or about there !!
Aaron, Kobie, Byron, Brandon, Jared, Michael, WHO are you going to SOLO block ?!?!!!
ALL are superior pass rushers!!! ALL have proved it with league top end sacks !!!
Not happening. The Rams lineman are getting it together and have been putting in the work all year.
Donald’s deal runs through the 2025 season, which allows the Rams to retain the rights to his contract until it ends. If the Rams were to release him, technically he could play in 2024. But he would have to pass through waivers before being able to sign back with the Rams and there’s a 100% chance another team would put in a claim for the future Hall of Famer and because of that he had until week 13 to play this year
As much as I would love him back, he's done everything he could accomplish now if he wanted to take a coaching position or a spot in the front office that cool with me.
In fact, it can't. It could have happened a few weeks ago but at this point in the year, it's not possible for Donald to simply unretire and play for the Rams in 2024. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk pointed out that players on the reserve/retired list like Donald are unable to return after Week 12
It isn't automatic that he comes back in a critical situation and becomes a hit. There is a process for everything
I originally said AD is done to all the hopefuls out there. With that whole Weddle thing happening and where the Rams are at, it's becoming more than just a hope. McVay could be crafty and have Weddle speak with AD on his feelings of his own comeback in 2021, being that Donald is a team player and doesn't feel like skipping all the work to just show up in the playoffs. Only AD knows if he is done for sure. Just because he's in lifting shape doesn't mean game shape. He would need several practices and a few game conditions to be back to what he once was. There would need to be more coaxing, players in agreement, before AD entertains the thought. Kind of like when they were recruiting OBJ and got the okay from Rams' players back in their SB title year. Plus he would consult with family before thinking seriously about it.
RE desperate for a headline.
HornsUp You know AD99 would say yes!
i wish but they cant do it. pretty sure he was on the ir so he would of had to comeback week 13. for him to come back he would need to be released and clear waivers but sadly ad will never clear waviers. So as much as i wish this could happen it can't.
Rams make the playoff. Les gets on the phone and you will hear a strange sound...
.... The collective sound 31 quarterbacks simultaneously needing a change of underwear.
😂
Hasn't the date for him to be reinstated for the 2024 season already passed?
Idk why he retired he was still so good. He had at least 2 more seasons in him. Football is only a short amount of time.
Will Ed Reed join the Rams coaching staff?
I’m crying and recording every game he plays even if it’s just one 🔥🔥🔥👌
AD baby!
Rams fan can only imagine. 😏
Its after week 13 I can't come out of retirement!
As A Canadian-Steelers Fan Rich I am not sure Aaron Donald wants to come back?
May aswell get brady and manning back too
Why is the answer always to get so and so out of retirement?? If that is the answer then the question must be dumb.
Arron we need you bro. Please?!?!
Let AD be happy in his retirement, he need to focus on his family and enjoy his life after football. 😎
Nobody payed much attention till the Rams started dismantling the division systematically. I'd thoroughly enjoy a Rams vs. Bills Superbowl.
I'm not saying thats gonna happen. But it could. Right now those 2 teams are on a mission.
Its still any given Sunday. I'm just not feeling the Chiefs or Ravens on the AFC side.
In the NFC obviously the Lions are the favorites. Again, when the cookie starts crumbling. Is Jared goof realy that guy? Hadn't been, at that level yet.
Like many others throughout the league over the last few seasons. Getting to the dance is one thing. Being Joe Cool in them big moments. Takes a special character. Mathew Stafford is that guy.
How much advantage is there to a first round by in the playoffs now? You end up inevitably playing a higher ranked team anyhow for the first game. With 14 teams out of 32 making the cut. Its gotten ridiculous when it comes down to the math. All its doing is watering down the field to make way for Patty and another miraculous run. Its bullshit. Who wants that? Oh, thats right. The KC mob bosses. Nevermind.
His competitive heart still beats in chest, you know it's true.
He is enjoying his retirement he's not coming back
It would be nice but I think it won’t happen
If we’re going to bring AD back which I don’t think we are. I hope we bring him back soon to get some snaps and any possible rust off before the playoffs.
If AD still has it in him and WANTS to do this still he will 100% be a monster and a Nightmare as hell change up everyone’s gameplans in the playoffs. Right now no one is planned for AD and if he were to return that may be a threat.
Yeah they knew how to maybe contain him before but will it be enough time to train up a new O Line to prep for AD and Young? Were a threat and an even bigger one with AD on a mission.
ADs last game was telling as that whole game he was contemplating Retiring and knew he didn’t want to do this anymore and wanted to hang it up. Which sucks for us cus one of our biggest weapons quit on us during the game somewhat.
He retired soon as he hit the locker rooms coach said. Even though his announcement was Months later, he retired from us that night in Detroit. It would be beautiful if he were to come back and be 100% mentally and be the one to get to Goff who caves under pressure still.
But, he’s happy in retirement.
They couldn’t even score a tuddy on primetime
If Donald plays with defense omg that would be a sight to see .. we got some young dawgs literally maturing before our eyes with 99 only makes the rams wayyyy better
Run to back!
No we need more players like Arron Donald who will not let football be a drug that is addictive. This is why the owners have a upper hand in negotiating deals with the players because too many players don’t have the ability to show the owners that there are more important things in life than football.I hope that more follow the paths of Andrew Luck and others are choosing to walk away from football because it’s not an addiction.
As much as I'd like to see AD play with this DL, I don't see him as the type of guy who would step in and take a starting role from this new group. Maybe as a depth player?
Bro what 😂
@@RamsHouse99 He has said himself he doesn't want to step in and take over what other people earned. Not that hard to understand.
How ignorant! Sports talking heads who never played are absolutely ignorant af.
Why not? If he's willing then you make it happen.
he's *not* willing . . . 🐏🏈💙💛🤍
He's not in game condition, obviously. He would embarrass himself.
It's not possible after week 13 to return from retirement list ... He must hit waivers then
They should lure Marshawn Lynch out of retirement to join the seahawks again too. 😂
Things people say for viewship🤨is crazy
Won’t happen he would need to go thru waivers first and teams won’t let that happen
He would have to clear waivers and some team would pick him up so unfortunately this isn’t an option since week 13
No he wouldn’t, the Rams have his rights, that’s how it works 😎
Yeah he’s still contract for this year bud
@@cartergubler1327 @koobay8 is right. since he's on the reserve/retired list, and we are now past week 13, AD would have to pass thru waivers. same thing happened to deion back in the day. chargers claimed him so he wouldn't play for someone else, the raiders, iirc
AD is not coming back.
Alright Reggie Jackson, relax
I Love AD but can we please stop calling for players to unretire... its so dumb
Aaron also big Whit👀
He cant
He retired for a reason.
He would go to Waivers and someone else would get him. He had til week 13 to do this
This ... Unfortunately it's not possible but it would be so nice
No he is under contract for the rams
They did not declared him to return from retirement list before week 14/13? And now they must release him to come back and he would hit waivers
No dude, the Rams have his rights, they would have to trade him if played for another team 😆
Great fantasy but #99 is NOT coming back.
His wife said no way leave us alone he is not coming back Aaron Donald
Some men don't let their wives wear the pants.
Not happening….
Dumb idea. That's all.
lol you want someone to come back to nfl work place and politics.... from retirement? you tell him he only has to show up to gameday and play some football. or pull a guy outa the stands like me and i'll play for free ;)
Not happening
I'm not an all 22 guy is not an excuse to push false narratives and dumb ideas. Follow your own advice. Do better!!
I think the NFL is one of those sports where when the player checks out, he checks out. The grind is just a lot to deal with physically and mentally.
He can't come out of retirement without hitting the waivers 😢 so not happening
He is still under contract with the rams. He can just come back
It's time to move on from Donald, don't need him this young Defense is doing just fine 🏈 out with the OLD in with the NEW 🏈
It’s past week 13. It’s too late for him to comeback unless it was already done secretly causing the Rams to be fined
No don’t. This team is young. Let them gel.
Can't happen, Rich. This had to go down last month. Now, they could relinquish his retirement rights and try to resign him. The problem there is that he would have to pass through waivers - and nobody is going to allow the Rams to get AD. Somebody would grab him to prevent that. Somebody like the 49ers or Seahawks. Nice fantasy, though.
That’s an overreaction. *Rich voice*
Shut up about the Rams. They've had several runs. You know who hasn't? The Cardinals. The Seahawks. And both are arguably as good if not better. Just shut up already about the Rams.
Nope, you're obviously nervous maybe even scared for a reason.
😂 arguably … keep coping 🎉
😂😂😂😂😂
RAMS ALL DAY HOMIE
Wow, I smell fear from a Cardinals fan. They got so cocky because they won 41 over 10 in the first matchup and now here we are once again they get to a fast start. We get to a slow start and now things are turning in the right direction for the Rams while the Cardinals are now struggling. 😂
Maybe Aaron doesn’t want to increase his chances of CTE because some bald commentator who never played a down wants him too.
