We got Verse who is in the Mold of Von Miller. Why not a shot for a postseason run with this squad? by Indrid Cold 13 hours 4 minutes ago Total posts: 889 Joined: Sep 24 2015 Redington Beach, FL Veteran The Aaron Donald phone call POST #2 PARAM liked this post Not possible. Players on the reserve/retired list like Donald are unable to return after Week 12. The deadline for them to come off the reserve/retired list is the final business day before Week 13. Weddle's contract had expired so he wasn't on that list. They could release him, but he'd have to clear waivers. You think the 13 other playoff teams would take a pass on claiming him? 1 by rams1974 5 hours 35 minutes ago Total posts: 558 Joined: Sep 15 2022 LA Coliseum Veteran The Aaron Donald phone call POST #3 It's fun to consider but I'd be very surprised if this was ever on their radar. I think the Rams very much want their young talent to emerge as the new leaders on defense, and bringing in 99 would undercut that. Kobie Turner has impressed me as an emergent leader this year. by rams74 5 hours 14 minutes ago Total posts: 1586 Joined: Nov 19 2015 Glendale, Arizona Pro Bowl The Aaron Donald phone call POST #4 rams1974 wrote:It's fun to consider but I'd be very surprised if this was ever on their radar.

Kobie Turner has impressed me as an emergent leader this year.Agreed. And not only that, but the comparisons to Eric Weddle are off base. When the 2021 Rams signed Weddle, it's because they were short-handed at safety. They had injuries to both Jordan Fuller and Taylor Rapp. They needed somebody to take snaps at safety.That's not the case on the D-line in 2024. The D-line is at full strength. If the Rams had somehow signed Aaron Donald before that deadline, it would have been at the expense of a healthy player. And the Rams just wouldn't have done that. And Aaron Donald just wouldn't have done that. by Elvis 3 hours 39 minutes ago Total posts: 40135 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: The Aaron Donald phone call POST #5 Snead, McVay and AD himself have all said it's not gonna happen, so there's that...
