Anyone who’s been paying attention knows this isn’t a surprise. He was literally talking about retiring after the Super Bowl. The year after everyone got hurt and they missed the playoffs. This year they had a solid season. He still has gas in the tank but he’s already accomplished everything there is to. Congratulations to the real AD

[@jackvr170]

i will always love donald in myt heart, i will miss that guy

[@DukesVerrill]

He was a menace and displayed a high level of dominance and consistency. I wish him the best post-NFL.

[@brandenmessersmith9868]

49ers fan here. God bless Aaron Donald. Played the game the right way and saw him single-handedly dominate and steal games for his team. Have the utmost respect for him and glad he Got a Super Bowl. 1st ballot hall of famer

[@user-ym6lq2di3p]

We as fans will miss you thanks for all you have done with much Respect David

[@mikeesavi1211]

I know he was talking about retirement after the super bowl victory but it just feels so real hearing about it now it's been a pleasure and I even have his jersey so I'm glad we drafted him and he retired as a ram That's what I've always wanted hopefully with this year's draft we can select that next Aaron Donald type player go Rams

[@XxDanny80xX]

His only Retiring because he doesn’t have rushers around him like most teams. Being a DT getting three o linemen constantly that makes any player tired.

[@JDem-ru7vl]

⁠​⁠@@wheelman1232if sacks is your metric for what makes a great DL, especially one who plays on the interior, then you’re football iq is horrendous. Especially factoring in he’s only played 10 years and everyone in the top 10 in sacks played over 10.

[@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405]

​@@wheelman1232defensive tackle, not defensive line dummy. And Donald's pass rushing numbers are unmatched. His pass rush win rate is 18% against double teams, which he was double teamed 15% more than any player. And the average NFL pass rush win rate for 1 on 1 is 17%. So Donald is more effective pass rusher than the average NFL D Lineman double teamed than they are 1 on 1.

[@jamesonedwardsii4943]

He has been saying he was going to retire for 3 years…. Coming off the Super Bowl he chose to stick it out because they thought they had another window. If you listen to some of his longer interviews the guy values winning and the Rams are probably not going to be in the conversation again this coming season. Congratulations on a terrific HOF career AD!

[@bernarddeocampo1776]

The Rams got into the playoffs last year with a bunch of rookies and 2nd year players. We definitely will be in contention

[@Aleph1022]

@@bernarddeocampo1776exactly, this dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about. We have Kobie Turner and Byron Young, two guys that will step up and continue in his legacy a little bit. If we draft Latu, that helps us as well. It sucks to see him go, but at least AD gave it his all and stuck with the Rams. We made the playoffs and I still expect the same this season.

[@RekojGnik]

Makes tom Brady even greater when you see that he somehow finds motivation after the age of 40 to play and win

Then the Rams disrespected him by asking him to restructure with a little over 9mil less this year when his 95 million was fully guaranteed. He agreed, thought about it, and then just retired. He would have played one more year to finish his contract if they didn't insult him like that

[@bernarddeocampo1776]

Donald told the FO before free agency began he was going to retire. He did this so the team could have more cap room to sign other players

[@InvestBuildEmpower]

@bernarddeocampo1776 of course it helps the team and I'm sure he did. But there was no reason to sign the restructure if he was going to retire.
