The Los Angeles Rams have had a rather dramatic offseason already and the playoffs just began. Fans became more relaxed once Sean McVay announced his return.
However, things took a turn on Sunday after Aaron Donald made a move on social media that has generated mass speculation.
Barstool Sports shows a picture of Donald’s Twitter bio and it reads “former NFL D-Lineman for the Rams.” For that reason, the sports world has gone into a frenzy about whether Aaron Donald has retired or not.

Remember last year when Donald basically announced his retirement right before the Super Bowl? Only to sign an extension to keep playing for the Rams. This turned out to be a disastrous season for Los Angeles. But, could Aaron Donald really be walking away from football this time?
Or, is he playing with Rams’ fan’s heartstrings? Shortly after Barstool Sports posted that image of Donald’s Twitter bio, the superstar defensive lineman changed it again.

Is Aaron Donald retiring or not?! Nobody knows at this point. However, that subtle, albeit short-lived, bio change has to mean retirement is on his mind once again, right? At least football fans think so.
Nah doing it like this on Twitter is wild💀

Well, with Donald changing his bio back to its original form, maybe speculation will cool down. Who am I kidding? NFL fans are going to ponder what’s going on with Aaron Donald throughout the entire offseason.
