It appears that the Rams are entirely open to Donald’s return. However, it also hinges on the team’s performance in the 2024 season. They would need to make the playoffs to entice him back.

“But that’s just a rumor,” Snead said. “I doubt Aaron’s going to do that. Aaron’s one of those guys where he’s so principled, he might feel uncomfortable that, ‘You know what, I didn’t go through those other 18 [games] with the guys, I’m not sure I can go through the playoffs with them.’ Not sure. We might tempt him. No breaking news here.”
