Aaron Donald is cashing in big for the Los Angeles Rams over the next three years, his mega contract setting a record for a non-quarterback. But the superstar explained that the record contract was not that important.

Munich – Aaron Donald has decided to chase more Super Bowl wins with the Los Angeles Rams.

However, the record-breaking contract is said to have been “not important” in his decision against a possible retirement and for the Rams. Donald had considered ending his career at age 31.

Ready to defend title – and more

“It was about other things off the field that were going on in my life that needed to be sorted,” Donald said, according to ESPN.

“About being with the organisation that I’ve been with since day one, that I’ve grown with and that I’ve won the title with. I’m ready to try to repeat and experience that feeling again.”

For him, it’s about winning, “and the conditions are there to make it happen,” Donald said, “And for me, it’s a blessing to be a part of the puzzle.” Donald was selected 13th overall in the 2014 draft by the St. Louis Rams and has played for the franchise, based in L.A. since 2016, ever since.

But the $40 million salary increase – the defensive tackle now gets up to $95 million for three years, making him the most expensive non-quarterback in NFL history – may well have played a role in his decision to return.

Including the sporting prospects.

While the Rams lost key players like Von Miller, they also signed stars like Bobby Wagner and Allen Robinson. In addition, head coach Sean McVay has stressed wanting to keep wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Aaron Donald: “Have the prerequisites “

“One of the most important things to me was the feeling that with the new players we still have the opportunity to win another Super Bowl,” Donald said. “I really believe we have the pieces here, the players, the coaches to make it happen. We’ve lost some good guys, but we’ve also gained some good guys. “
