From the article

The speculation started around when the Los Angeles Rams traded for Myles Garrett. Until that trade, there was no real sense that Donald had any plans to suit up in the NFL again, but after that move, fans speculated, talking heads speculated, and Donald still hasn't given a hard "no" or a hard "yes" to lining up with Garrett in 2026 as the speculation continues.

STACKED’s take

Donald's unretirement status unresolved; Garrett trade sparked speculation.

Aaron Donald's potential unretirement remains unresolved as of mid-July 2026. Speculation intensified after the Rams traded for Myles Garrett, but Donald has not given a definitive yes or no. Until Donald explicitly declines, the speculation will persist. Key questions include whether he will unretire, how he will perform at age 35, and how he will mesh with Garrett on the Rams defensive line.
