Aaron Donald says 2023 play dependent upon new contract considers retirement

This is why you don’t front load signing bonus money on long contracts. He is crying about next year’s guaranteed money after 8M signing and 5M roster pay outs. He still has 5M roster bonuses in 23 and 24.

Yeah these front loaded mega deals are awesome at first. Towards the end of the deal, not so much.
