Aaron Donald (DT)

The Los Angeles Rams seem to be paying everybody except their best player in Aaron Donald. One can imagine how that must make him feel. The team continues to insist they have every intention of getting a deal done but by the look of things their attempts thus far have fallen on deaf ears. If things don’t improve, could they be forced to deal him? GM Les Snead has shown he’s not above trading big names before. Don’t think for a second he’d flinch if Donald pressed the issue.

Destination:  Los Angeles Chargers

Not having to leave L.A. would certainly appeal to Donald. For the Chargers, this deal would be a game-changer. They already have a good pass rush led by Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. So imagine what would happen if they were able to plug Donald in between those two studs. Quarterbacks would understand what true fear is for the first time in ages.
