Bleav in Rams

If he decides to unretire - when is the most likely timeline for Aaron Donald's return? ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins Erin Coscarelli and Rob Havenstein to break down the rumor that's dominating the league and what he's hearing about the possibility of the future Hall of Famer returning to the Rams. If Donald does decide to unretire, what would a contract even look like for arguably the greatest defensive player of all time after two seasons away from football? When would a return realistically happen? Could he report before the season, or keep everyone guessing and make a late-season comeback? Schefter also weighs in on why the speculation refuses to die, what the Rams' approach would be if Donald picked up the phone, and whether Myles Garrett's now-viral photo unpacking an Aaron Donald jersey means more than fans think. Plus, Erin revisits Jared Verse's unforgettable story about training with Donald—calling it the hardest workout of his life—and Andrew Whitworth's belief that if he were in Donald's shoes, he'd absolutely be considering a return. From contracts and timelines to the psychology behind one of football's greatest competitors, this episode explores the biggest "what if" hanging over the Rams.

Erin Coscarelli and Rob Havenstein are joined by The Athletic's Rams beat writer Nate Atkins to break down Los Angeles' 2026 NFL Draft.
