Sources: DT Aaron Donald gets big raise from Los Angeles Rams in reworked contract

All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald will remain with the Los Angeles Rams with a big raise that will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

The Rams reworked Donald's deal to give him a $40 million raise over the last three years of his existing contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The three-year, now-$95 million contract makes Donald the league's highest-paid non quarterback.

Donald was taking his physical now and is expected to sign the contract later Monday.

Donald had indicated on the I Am Athlete podcast last week that his return for the 2022 season was contingent on getting a new deal and he would be «at peace» with his career if an agreement couldn't be reached.

The four-time Defensive Player of the Year sealed the Rams' victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI when he pressured quarterback Joe Burrow into an errant throw on fourth down late in the fourth quarter.

Donald, 31, had 12.5 sacks in the regular season and then followed that up with 3.5 more in the playoffs during the Rams' run to the Super Bowl.

In eight seasons, Donald has 98 sacks. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his NFL seasons and has been a first-time All-Pro selection seven times.
