2022 Super Bowl Winner Says He Doesn’t Mind Not Playing Football Again: “I’m At Peace”

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle and Super Bowl champion Aaron Donald seems to be someone at great ease with how things are going. Following one of the highlight moments of his NFL career, Donald is a sure-shot first-ballot Hall of Famer as he is not hesitant about retirement. As he continues to remain in wait for a lucrative contract from the Rams, Donald is in a good place on and off the field.

While retirement talks have been a constant presence in recent seasons, his recent appearance on the ‘I Am Athlete’ podcast gives fans an insight.

While talking to retired NFL players Brandon Marshall and Pacman Jones, he states, “I don’t need to play football to be fine. I’m fine. I was blessed to play this game, to make the money I made. The accomplishments I made in eight years is like — I’m complete. If I can win another one, that’s great. But if not, I’m at peace.”

Donald adds that he plays football not for the lucrative contracts, but because of the countless memories of being victorious. He views football also as a business. He wants to take care of doing his job and appears to be happy to retire in case there are no offers. The Rams will be determined to bring back their veteran DT for another NFL campaign as they look to repeat their Super Bowl-winning campaign.

The 3-time Defensive Player Of The Year has earned 8 Pro Bowl and 7 All-Pro selections throughout his amazing NFL career.

Certain reports consider this to be a negotiation tactic by Donald, who seems to be fine with any outcome. If the Rams DT is looking to stay, he will be looking to become the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL.

Donald could be looking to surpass Steelers’ TJ Watt and his annual $28 million salary.

The Rams fans will hope Donald stays and gets his deserved compensation for his historic and accomplished career. To repeat as Super Bowl champions, the franchisee will need all of his experience and defensive explosion to succeed in 2022.
