McVay Says 35-Year-Old Aaron Donald Could Still Thrive After Rams Land Myles Garrett

Summary
Sean McVay said he has spoken with Aaron Donald about Myles Garrett’s arrival and believes the 35-year-old could still play “at a pretty high clip” if he ends his retirement.
Garrett’s blockbuster move from Cleveland appears to be the catalyst: reports say the trade has Donald considering a comeback, though the Rams stopped short of confirming he will return.
Myles Garrett, introduced Tuesday after waiving his no-trade clause, said he learned only last week that Los Angeles was a possibility and called joining the Rams “an honor and a blessing.”
The Rams see the deal as an immediate Super Bowl push, with Garrett joining a defense also boosted by All-Pro corner Trent McDuffie and potentially, if Donald chooses, one more elite pass rusher.
Donald retired in 2024 after 10 seasons, three Defensive Player of the Year awards and $157 million in career earnings, leaving any comeback decision to him and his family.
