defensive tackle became the charter member of the $20 million-per-year non-quarterback club in September 2018. He was the first to break the barrier when the Rams gave him a six-year, $135 million contract extension ($22.5 million per year) with $86.892 million of guarantees. His $40 million signing bonus is the largest ever for a non-quarterback. The $20 million-per-year mark is starting to become routine for non-quarterbacks. There are now 24 members of what used to be a very exclusive club. Donald is no longer among the 's 10 highest-paid non-quarterbacks. That's a problem because Donald is arguably the league's best player regardle s of position. News about a po sible Donald retirement was revealed by NBC Sports' Rodney Harrison in the LVI pregame broadcast. As a former agent, I immediately attributed the retirement talk to the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year wanting his contract adjusted because he is underpaid. A couple of days after the Rams won the Super Bowl, ESPN reported that Donald was looking to become the league's highest-paid defensive player with a 15% markup to keep playing. edge rusher , the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, currently has that distinction with the four-year Laurie Boschman Jersey , $112.011 million extension, averaging $28,002,750 per year, he signed as the start of the 2021 regular season was approaching. A 15% markup would be approximately $32 million per year. Rams general manager Les Snead acknowledged about a month ago that the plan was to come up with a "win-win" solution with Donald allowing the team to compete at the highest level. Head coach Sean McVay gave an update in a video conference with the local media as the offseason workout program started this week. He said there had been "good dialogue" with Donald and wide receiver , the 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl LVI MVP. New deals for Donald and Kupp are offseason priorities for the Rams. Donald has three years remaining on his contract worth $55 million, which includes a $5 million second day of the 2022 league year roster bonus that was earned on March 17. He is scheduled to make $14.25 million in 2022 consisting of the March roster bonus and a $9.25 million base salary where his salary cap number is $26.75 million. There is $19 million and $21.75 million in 2023 and 2024. Donald's 2023 and 2024 cap numbers are $23.5 million and $26.25 million.

Typically, the existing deal isn't ripped like a player wasn't already under contract and replaced with a new one when there is a significant amount of time remaining. That's exactly what the did when acquiring from the last month. Watson had four years worth $136 million remaining on the four-year extension, averaging $39 million per year, he signed in September 2020. As a part of the trade, the Browns gave Watson a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract. It's hard to imagine the Rams applying the same basic concept to Donald. Proposing a new five-year contract (running through 2026) for a $150 million will likely get dismi sed pretty quickly by the Rams. Since Donald has $50 million remaining in his three existing contract years because the March roster bonus has already been earned, the Rams would view this deal as a two-year, $100 million extension averaging $50 million per year. Similarly, it would be surprising for the Rams to agree to pay Kyle Connor Jersey Donald a total of $90 million through 2024 when his current contract expires. He would be getting $35 million of new money without giving the Rams any new contract years. Every deal I did in my numerous years as an agent was over how much new money and how many new contract years when a player had contract years remaining. There are two examples that can be used as a guide. The dealt with All-Pro cornerback deal that had three years left about three weeks ago. He is now under contract for $90 million over five years. David Canter, Howard's agent, took i sue with a suggestion on social media that Howard wouldn't be happy with Browns cornerback just signing a five-year, $100.5 million extension. He pointed out that Howard's new money average was $25 million per year. Actually, it's a two-year extension averaging $25,345,359 per year because Howard had $39,308,823 in his Nikolaj Ehlers Jersey three existing years before the new deal. The addre sed All-Pro wide receiver ' contract with three years for $39.915 million remaining in 2020 several months after acquiring him from the Texans. He signed a two-year, $54.5 million extension averaging $27.25 million per year right before the 2020 regular season started. When signed, he was under contract for $94.415 million over five year. The last two numbers of the five-year total ending in "15", as in his three remaining years, indicates the negotiation was over the new money. The five-year total being $94.5 million or $95 million could have been used to suggest otherwise. The only way to know the parties intent in these negotiations would be to have acce s to the proposals that were exchanged to know how the offers were being characterized. Based on my experience as an agent, I suspect the proposals were referred to as two-year extensions where the new money was calculated. Donald's six-year extension was extremely front-loaded where he made $80 million over the first three new years. He would be justified in insisting that he get the same $80 million for the existing three years if two new years running through 2026 are added. This would be Donald getting $25 million of new money through his existing contract running through 2024. A suming the Rams are comfortable with giving Donald close to the 15% markup where it's a two-year extension for $64 million ($32 million per year in new money), having $25 million of the new money through the existing years would be consistent with what happened in Hopkins' case. Hopkins has nearly 37% of new money through the three remaining contract years for 2022. Donald getting $25 million of new money through 2024 would be 39.06% in a two-year extension averaging $32 million Keith Tkachuk Jersey per year. Hopkins also has just over 72.5% of the new money through the first new contract year of 2023. The Rams lost an opportunity to maximize the salary cap room that could be gained from a new D
