I miss Jackie Slater.

He and Cox can go into the Hall of Fame together.

Best two of the era.

Unfortunately, this day had to come at some point. Thanks to a Rams legend and the greatest defensive tackle to ever play the game. He truly gave it all, and it was a great joy to watch him dominate all these years.

Considering the way he regularly wrecked their games, the Seahawks fans have to be ecstatic that he's retiring.

IIRC the Rams had a record of sack futility before they inserted Donald into the lineup and he totally transformed their defense right away.

The grade itself is bad enough, but the notes of "Lacks Power" and "gets overpowered" are super fun.

It's as if the evaluation involved just looking at his measurements. The man won basically every award for his position in college.

Can't say I'm not disappointed he's retiring, but it's a good call to leave while about as healthy as he could be after 10 years.

Great stop by Brockers there.

lol, Donald is in a different league compared to Cox. Don't get me wrong Cox was good, but nowhere near Aaron's level.

Cox is LUCKY to make the HOF. Donald is a no questions asked first ballot. Cox had like three ELITE seasons. Every single season Donald played he was elite and basically the best defensive player in the league. The fact you're lumping those two names together shows how much of a homer you are. And this is coming from a Hawks fan who hates the Rams.

If you can retire early from football, you do it. He could’ve probably squeezed another 50 million ish out of his career, but is it worth the damage he would put on his body? Good for him. I still remember the rams jumping in front of the bears to take him and being very disappointed.

Great player and I hope for the sake of his family and friends he lays off the roids. He could seriously injury another human being again.

If that is true that he cheated , it would make all the sense in the world that he walks…

And he shouldn’t wear no gold jacket no where
