The official Aaron Donald IS BACK thread

[Ram_Rally]

I'm happy but slightly irritated. Why wait until now ? Could've done the good faith thing and started this week.
I want him to get was he's worth but this is a bit silly.
Oh well.

strange isn't it? sit out long enough just to miss one game. Maybe it was because he felt he had to make the GM sweat since most expected him to cave by week 1

I assume the Rams will now drop the massive fines that almost make his salary this year next to nothing...

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

My feeling is relief. Finally.

Called it.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Great. Net year half the team holds out, get fined, then comes in one day before the regular season and get forgiven.

 

[LARams_1963]

Nothing says TEAM better than sliding in just in time to miss the first game yet still collect your gameday check.

 

[HX76]

Go on my son!!

 

[dolphinlover123]

and like a typical rams sofite I'm both glad that he's back and sad that Smart won't get his shot to be a long term starter. But oh well, Donald is back baby!

He'll still get a shot to see what hes got tomorrow.

 

[bluecoconuts]

No new deal? Hmmmmm

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Guess I'll welcome him back for the sake of the Rams, but I don't know if I'll ever see him in the same light that I did before this...I'm still very disappointed in him...I would guess his return is something money-related...He sure hasn't given a crap about the team to this point...

Some of you guys are taking this contract dispute too personal. Are you still mad at Steven Jackson, Orlando Pace, etc too? It's just a negotiation tactic. So what that he skipped the preseason, whoopty do. AD is a BOSS and will be in our HOF, first ballot!

 

[SteezyEndo]

I hope he fired Todd France.

I agree except for the fact that he missed more than just the preseason. He missed the season opener, but he did collect the game check!

I can't wait to go back and see who bashed him and see those same people cheer as soon as they see 99 out there.

Yeah I should have put that in parentheses haha. But it's probably our easiest game of the season and should be a guaranteed win.

It may just be smoke and mirrors. A concrete deal has not been made yet.

Well hell, you can bash somebody and love them later! Obviously you're not married.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Tell that to his teammates who had to show up and put in the work. " I'm so good, I don't need the work like you guys do". AD says to Tanziel " Thanks for taking my reps, now carry my jock-strap for me , then go sit on the bench".

The two aren't mutually exclusive, but you do you I suppose. People can be bothered by the fact he held out so long he missed the season opener, but still gets paid for being here. Doesn't mean they won't cheer him. I'm guessing AD didn't want to miss that game check, cause unlike the fines, that shit don't come back.
