re: Schefty bomb - Donald returning to Rams (one-year, $20M deal possibly $30M)

Why pay him $20 mil? Seems odd, obviously they have the space. But are you telling me he doesn’t come back for $12-15? Did anyone else even offer? He’s been out of the league 2 years?
When was the last time someone had been retired 2 years and made a significant impact?

31 other teams would’ve offered him even more to come out of retirement.
He could’ve not come out of retirement and stayed chilling in retirement, I’m sure he negotiated about that made it worth getting in shape/risking injury for while making it work with the rams cap bc he wasn’t going to play for anyone else

He’s 35 and hasn’t played a down of football in 2 years.
Why is this a “bomb”?
I don’t think he’ll be near the player he was in 2023.

Even if he’s not, he’ll probably be a pretty effective player, especially lining up next to Myles Garrett

These big name super team things never really pay out in November like they do in August.

This argument would make more sense if the Rams weren't already elite.
The "super teams" are (1) extremely rare in the NFL and (2) are usually an attempt to raise a team who isn't elite by bringing in unrelated players.
Had the Rams not traded for McDuffie or Garrett, and not gotten Donald back, they'd still be one of the favorites for the title. Why do we think adding those 3 will be a negative?
Do you think Donald or Garrett or McDufffie will bring an attitude that hurts the team or something? Why?
None of this means the Rams are guaranteed anything. They have to be on the right side of variance with injuries and other randomness that occurs in an NFL season. But assuming they're even on that front compared to the other elite teams, what about this offseason would make you think anything negative?

This will be a very interesting thing to follow. 2 years out of the league is a long time. He relied on an elite first step for his entire career. Will he still have that after the time away? Will he be able to handle that at 35 for a season?
He was obviously incredible and may still be, but that's a long gap
