Aaron Donald’s return to the Rams on a one-year deal is a cap masterstroke—his 2026 hit dips to just under $6 million, freeing up crucial space. But look ahead: $17M hits the books in 2027, when he’s not even signed to play—a classic void-year tactic. Plus, he can earn up to $8M in bonuses tied to snaps and playoff glory. The Rams also get a roster exemption for the first two weeks, giving them extra flexibility. With key players due for new deals in 2027, this move balances legend-level impact with long-term financial gymnastics.
