Aaron Donald gets roasted by NFL fans after social media fit

During Sunday's wildcard round games, Los Angeles Rams superstar Aaron Donald seemed to have signaled his retirement from the NFL.

Donald changed his bio on Twitter to "former NFL D Linemen for the Rams," making people think he was retiring.

However, he quickly removed the word 'former' from his bio and clarified that he would still play in the league. This strange behavior from Donald caught many off guard.

Despite all the circus shows around the Los Angeles Rams, both Aaron Donald and Sean McVay will be back for next season. Matthew Stafford has already said he isn't retiring and is motivated to be back next season.

The Rams are the reigning Super Bowl champions, but this season hasn't gone well for them. Hopefully, they will be able to make some moves and become contenders again next season.

As mentioned earlier, it has been a backbreaking season for the reigning Super Bowl champions. They lost Cooper Kupp, Aaron Donald, and Matthew Stafford due to injuries for most of the season.

Donald, who is usually not seen on IR, played just 11 games this season, registering 27 solo tackles, 22 assists, 5.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery.

The Rams finished with an abysmal record of 5-12, with the future of all their star players up in the air. With Sean McVay making it clear that he will be back next season, we expect the Rams' core to be in Los Angeles next season.

While there have been rumors about the Rams potentially trading away Jalen Ramsey to get some draft compensation in return, it seems unlikely now. McVay will look to keep Stafford, Kupp, Donald, Ramsey, and Wagner to remain a team loaded with stars.

They are likely to make more moves in the offseason, as they still need improvement. As seen in the past, the Rams have been ultra-aggressive in the market and are likely to continue that trend.
