    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.

    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).

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
