Rams GM pours gasoline on Aaron Donald comeback rumors

Ever since the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett, speculation about a potential Aaron Donald comeback has flooded social media.

Donald has always stayed in top shape, and he hasn't necessarily done much to appease the rumors. If anything, he's added fuel to them with his workout clips and videos.

This isn't the first time that a potential comeback has been on the table, and Donald still had some good years left in him.

Then again, according to general manager Les Snead, this is the first time he's actually considered a return. Talking to ESPN Los Angeles, the Rams' general manager all but confirmed Donald's desire to return.

Aaron Donald has 'an itch' to come back

“This is the first time Aaron’s probably had the itch to come back, try to do something meaningful — which has been cool to see,” Snead said. “When you retire from the NFL, that’s probably a cliff that’s like, the next chapter, it’s foggy. It’s like, wait a minute, is the next portion of my life going to be as…But it’s interesting with Aaron, he’s really enjoyed these years off and hasn’t necessarily missed the game. He says he’s missed it every now and then, but not enough to say, I want to come back. This is the first time that, you know what, there’s a real itch there.”

The Rams don't even need Aaron Donald to be Aaron Donald. Anything he can give them is probably overkill at this point.

Pairing the two greatest pass rushers of their generation will elevate Sean McVay's defense to new heights, making them the clear-cut team to beat in the NFC.

SoFi Stadium will host the next Super Bowl, and the Rams are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of being the last team standing.

And while not many 35-year-old defensive tackles who have been out of the league for two years should be considered the missing piece of a Super Bowl puzzle, this is Aaron Donald we're talking about.
