PFM18 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Big contract, but hey if the Rams didn't offer it him, you can bet one of the other NFL front offices would be. Donald has been an absolute beast, for multiple seasons, and has had no off field issues. The majority of the teams in the league would love to have that chance to throw that money at Aaron Donald to be on their D-Line. Just that the Rams were smart enough to draft him and be their disruptor. The money might be eye opening now but just wait till he's back on the field. As for Khalil Mack and the Raiders. I said previously that I thought that they should be trying to get the contract done before Donald's, so that they weren't set a price by Donald's contract. Can only see Mack asking for more than this now and a deal with the Raiders seems further away than ever at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Because Ramster didn’t say “Donald is playing at a HOF level”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, moot point in regards to what Ramster said. Is Aaron Donald in the HOF/does he presently have a HOF resume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, there's only so much value a single defender can bring to the table. For every Aaron Donald i'll take 3 very good starters ($8mil/yr vs. 24 mil/yr) I could pay for instead.

Even if you combine them they might get you the numbers Donald gets you by himself. Just pay the man, not my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just now, jrry32 said: He might. But you're quibbling with longevity, not the evaluation of his play. That doesn’t directly answer my question, but in a way, it still does. It’s more semantical than anything else, honestly. If he said “is playing like a HOFer” you’d have not heard from me at all. But Donald unequivocally does not have a HOF resume right now. Will he? Maybe. Is he on pace production wise? Argument can be made. Does his level of play exhibit it? Easy claim to make. Is he right now? Nope. Crowning someone with an award/title before earning it is overrating to me, but like I said above, that’s semantics.

Where are you going to get 3 or 4 talented starters? Moreover, 3 or 4 talented starters would cost more than one Aaron Donald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Rams hater in me wants to criticize, but I really can't. He's really good, and thinking outside fandom for a second, this continues a trend towards more player-friendly contracts with higher guarantees. Good to see that the NFL players realize they have more leverage in their negotiations than they have historically utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald is probably going to be 1st ballot. I wouldn't let him remove my kidney though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
