Les Snead didn’t completely close the door on AD coming back this season

This is the stuff Rams’ fans fever dreams are made of, and nightmare fuel for the rest of the NFL.

Aaron Donald has retired and at this point he’s been retired. However his retirement will be a talking point for the Los Angeles Rams, and the NFL throughout this season. Perhaps many seasons to come. Recently, Les Snead appeared on the Rich Eisen show and Eisen himself asked about if there was a chance that AD could make a return to the Rams? Les replied and talked about Donad’s cup being filled. A line the future Hall of Famer expressed himself when he retired.

Eisen humorously pressed the subject by asking if Snead or the Rams tried to convince Aaron that his cup could be larger, or maybe wasn’t as filled as AD would want? Snead gives what seems like an honest answer which is to say that Donald is most likely done with his time as a player in the NFL, but he adds a little fuel to the topic by mentioning that LA once brought a player out of retirement, Eric Weddle, for their postseason run that led to their eventual Super Bowl victory.

Per Snead:

“Lets call it going back to our Super Bowl run that there was a player by the name of Eric Weddle…I did mention (to AD) if we happen to get to the playoffs again maybe we’ll circle back and see…if the cup’s not quite filled.”

Eisen response was a simple “Really?!?” and Snead did reply, but his answer pretty much confirmed what everyone assumes, and that is that #99 has retired. Snead says that he doesn’t even know if Donald would want to suit up for only a few games having not been there for the rest of the season with the squad.

“I doubt Aaron’s gonna do that.”

All signs point to us not seeing Donald play another NFL snap, but anything is possible. As Snead points out there is “no breaking news here.” At this time this is just more of a fun interaction between Eisen and Snead. Nothing to see here, folks. Right?
