The man just got paid. Let's run it back!
From The Rams Wire:
Aaron Donald has spent the last eight years hunting down quarterbacks and making their lives incredibly difficult on a weekly basis. Now, he’ll finally make the same type of money they are.The Rams rewarded Donald on Monday with a new three-year contract, ripping up the final three years of his previous deal. Rather than making $55 million over the next three seasons, Donald now has the chance to earn $95 million through 2024.
That’s a $40 million raise, and he deserves every penny of it.
On his new contract, Donald will earn $31.6 million per year. That makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, surpassing Tyreek Hill and his $30 million per year salary. He’s also the first defender ever to eclipse $30 million per year, edging out T.J. Watt ($28 million).
What’s amazing is that Donald still isn’t one of the 10 highest-paid players in the NFL. On this new deal, he still doesn’t crack the top 10. Jared Goff, coincidentally, is 10th in the NFL in annual salary at $33.5 million per year, which is from the contract the Rams gave him in 2019. Even Carson Wentz, who’s 11th in annual salary, makes more than Donald; Wentz makes $32 million per year.
