Aaron Donald just got a $40 MILLION raise from the Rams… but he still could be underpaid – says NFL legend Bruce Smith.
The former Buffalo Bills pass-rusher explained his opinion to TMZ Sports just a day after Donald reworked his contract with the Rams…saying AD is so good he could have legitimately asked for and received a lot more money than he received.
“Aaron Donald deserves this and more,” Smith said of the new, 3-year, $95 million contract Donald now has with the Rams. “He’s worth every penny he gets paid.”
As to why, Smith, who recorded 200 sacks in his own epic 19-year career, thinks Donald is just as good – telling us there aren’t many players who have more impact on the game only AD.
“Aaron has proven that time and time again,” Smith said. “His ability to take control of a match and single-handedly lead his team to victory has just been remarkable to watch.”
In fact, Smith said that even though Donald only played eight seasons, he already belongs in the conversation for the best defensive player of all time.
It seems there are plenty of opposing QBs who would agree — because, after all, AD has 98 sacks in just 127 total games … and also has three Defensive Play of the Year awards.
