After weighing retirement in the offseason, Rams star Aaron Donald and his wife, Erica, are shopping around their custom Calabasas estate for $6.25 million.

The listing arrives two months after Donald helped the Rams win the Super Bowl in a dominant performance that left some wondering whether he would return the following season. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year recently confirmed that he’s been in talks with the team but hasn’t yet publicly announced a return.

Set on nearly an acre, the 7,036-square-foot mansion is found in the Oaks of Calabasas, a guard-gated, star-studded neighborhood with other celebrity residents over the years including Katie Holmes and Bret Michaels. Six bedrooms and seven bathrooms are spread across the two-story floor plan, which also includes a step-down lounge, open-concept kitchen and self-contained guest quarters.

Set on an acre, the private compound includes a 7,000-square-foot home, basketball court, billiards room and swimming pool.

The star defender has an eye for decorating as well. Listing photos show that Donald made a few aesthetic changes during his stay, bringing sleek shades of gray to the living spaces and adding a barbershop.


The amenities continue outside, where a 1,500-square-foot glass-covered patio overlooks a zero-edge swimming pool. A fireplace and basketball court complete the scene.
Considered one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, Donald was drafted by the Rams in 2014 and has racked up 441 tackles and 98 sacks in eight seasons. The Pittsburgh native has been named to eight Pro Bowls and thrice won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award, joining Lawrence Taylor and J.J. Watt as the only players to win the award three times.
Jordan Cohen of RE/MAX One holds the listing.

He's probably looking to update with his new money. Not worried. He's already said he's returning.

He could also be wise to the real estate bubble and is looking to capitalize on it. He paid a mere 4.7 mill for the home just 3 years ago.

Only six bedrooms? Psshh.

Super Bowl champions need at least twice that many, sounds like it's time for an upgrade.

I do think that Aaron Donald will be 2-3 more years then call it a career and I'm fine with that, he's been a stud and good for him that he'll be able to enjoy his post football life. I always hope with someone like Donald that he stays with the organization in some capacity and God Willing I will be in Canton Ohio when he's inducted in the Football Hall of Fame.

I'm jealous of that landscaping. Here I am working my ass off to get my yard in that condition, only to have my work ruined by my egotistical neighbor and their stupid cat that takes a shit in it every time I apply mulch.

Don't like the sound of this tbh. I'd rather see them trade him than put him in a position where he feels he has to retire to be close to his kid or where he needs outlandish pay to be happy.

Sigh.

In recent weeks, we've learned:

1. That AD is negotiating a new contract.
2. That AD told McVay he's coming back.
3. That AD is working out (posted video just yesterday).
4. That AD recruited Bobby Wagner to join the Rams.
5. That AD has publicly stated that he's hungry to pursue another title.

I'm not worried about him retiring.
The Rams are not trading him.
