Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald could carry his holdout into the 2017-18 regular season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The two sides reportedly remain far apart on what it would take to get a deal done, which may mean that come Week 1, Donald would not be suiting up for Los Angeles. |
I'm guessing he plays, the fines are too big.
Beckham did this!!!
He was. They do. They can. Still, Donald is getting like $1.8 million this year or something and this is the first time that they could negotiate a long term deal. Donald is arguably the best interior lineman in the NFL. He is severely underpaid.
As always, I will never hold it against a player trying to make money unless it is like a Donald Penn situation. The NFL is the only place where one side can just end a contract at any moment. Therefore, Donald has the right to do this. I don't agree with the way he is going about it but that os his right. There are consequences for it that I am sure he is aware of. On the flip side. If he gets hurt he is losing an insane amount of money. There is a risk-reward situation for each decision that is made. The risk is known as well as the reward. This is the path he wants to take. So be it.
Jeez, completely missed that contract. Talk about absurd.
Both of which have zero to do with in game childish sideline behavior.
The counter obsession by those who perceive excessive scrutiny toward OBJ is continually perplexing.
Donald is a beast.
You have to. He's got 2 years to go in his deal. Yeah he's outplayed it but so have OBJ and Martin. I guess he's willing to give up
What he feels is peanuts. Problem is this reminds me of Osi. Feels like he will sign his new deal and hold out when someone else
Gets more as inevitably they will.

I thought he was drafted in round #1 with Beckham. Doesn't his team have a contract already this year and could re-sign him for 2018 also if the Rams choose?

NFL PA are the bad guys here. Last contract was negotiated for the vets w a big FU for the players coming in. And as a salve for teams who picked duds like Bradford and even worse Jamarcus Russel for millions.
Donald had two years left. So Mack OBJ and Martin all
Whom are Just as good. The solution is guy's like them going to the PA And NFL to renegotiate. Yeah. That's hard as fuck. But thats the shit sandwich that it is. First round picks that flop aren't complaining. That year was an anomaly. Insane round 1. All this guys deserve a lot more than they are getting.
AND-
My 80% cash against the cap rule.
This rule change would allow a team to only count 80% of a player's new contract towards the cap if that player was originally drafted or signed (UDFA) by that team.
It would help teams & fans keep the player they originally groomed and the player doesn't lose a dime. Teams that draft well would be rewarded most.
This change would of course have to be passed by the NFL and the players union.
League.
League.
Snacks is better IMO. Donald is an all pro too. So it's. Or there's a huge gulf. But IMO he needs Brockers next to him. Or someone like him to be able to avoid double teams. Snacks doesn't. It's why they let Hankins go. When u got a monster NT eating double teams all the time the guys next to him need to step up.
And for all the Donald love here he's no JJ Watt when he's healthy. Just again my opinion.
