Does this sale mean the NFL star is leaving the Rams?
Some fans are now wondering if the sale of Donald’s home means that he’s leaving not only Calabasas but the LA Rams too.
Prior to the Super Bowl, the athlete told reporters: “I feel like I accomplished a lot in a short amount of time in this league. The only thing I’m lacking now is being a world champion.”
Following the Rams’ victory, it was believed that Donald would retire from the NFL. However, quarterback Matthew Stafford told TMZ that he’s trying to get the defensive lineman to return in 2022. And the team’s head coach Sean McVay said that he expects Donald to be back for the upcoming season.
