Los Angeles Rams superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald was not pleased when teammate and fellow defensive lineman Michael Brockers signed a deal with the Baltimore Ravens at the beginning of the legal tampering period.
Donald took to Instagram questioning the team's offseason strategy and apparently refused to speak to head coach Sean McVay.
However, Brockers' deal with the Ravens fell through, allowing the Rams to pounce on re-signing him. As a result, it appears Donald is speaking with McVay once again (via Cameron DaSilva of USA TODAY):
Brockers quickly agreed to a three-year deal with the Rams and all was well again for Donald. Sean McVay even said Donald is finally talking to him again now that Brockers is back.
“We always wanted to be able to retain him and fortunately, when things didn’t continue to work out with the Ravens, we were able to pounce on that opportunity,” McVay said on a conference call. “I think there was a mutual excitement about getting a chance to reconnect,” McVay said. “I know Aaron finally was talking to me again once we got Michael back. He was a little upset with me, I think, for a couple days.”
Donald probably had reason to feel frustrated.
Aside from Brockers, the Rams also watched Dante Fowler Jr. and Cory Littleton walk in free agency, while L.A. also cut Clay Matthews and Todd Gurley to free up salary.
However, the Rams restocked their defensive front by adding Leonard Floyd and A'Shawn Robinson. Now that Brockers is back in the fray, Donald can turn his focus back to what he does best: terrorizing opposing quarterbacks.
