For anyone wondering about the Aaron Donald/Rams contract exemption…yes, he can play. Donald is exempt from counting against the 53-man roster for two weeks, so basically they can have an extra player. League permission must be granted. The Rams also did this last year.

I wasn’t sure how the exemption thing worked. tx, for posting that.

After holding the NFL’s youngest roster for four straight seasons, the Rams were second last year. Now they’re fourth youngest. Chargers are 14th. Raiders are oldest.

Aaron Donald's record-breaking deal hammers home this point: Holdouts work if you’re good enough https://t.co/9Wa4aJCQOk

Reggie McKenzie said he had hoped to get Khalil Mack back in the building to “work through it and see what would happen” and knew the franchise tag was available a year down the road. “It just wasn’t meshing with the two proposals,” McKenzie said.

Joe Banner@JoeBanner13
His reference to the tag is the root of the problem. That’s not how you treat a superstar player. Should’ve just done a fair market contract

The Rams have moved from -3 to -4.5 for their week one matchup with the Raiders.

Gruden: “We’re going to be second-guessed until the cows come home on this. I understand that.” Says the Aaron Donald contract set the stage for Mack’s “astronomical” $90M in guarantees. “That was something we could not do.”

Michael Gehlken@GehlkenNFL
Reggie McKenzie said “more than half the league” inquired to trade DE Khalil Mack. Club narrowed suitors to teams who Raiders believed had chance to present high first-round pick in 2019.
