After a successful 2023 campaign for the Green Bay Packers, they look to their opponents in 2024. With opponents already determined for the 2024-25 season, it is nice to keep track of what exactly those teams change around from the previous year. Luckily for the Packers, one of their upcoming opponents the Los Angeles Rams will be losing one of the greatest players of all time to retirement.
Los Angeles Rams Aaron Donald Announces Retirement Prior To 2024 Green Bay Packers Matchup
Donald has solidified himself as a first-ballot Hall of Famer and one of the most dominant players of the modern NFL era. His tenure with the team that drafted him puts him in the books as arguably the greatest St. Louis/ Los Angeles Rams of all time. Luckily for the Packers and unfortunately for football fans, Aaron Donald has officially announced his retirement.
Cheers to what’s next. Extending a big thank you to the Rams and all of the fans for your support over these last 10 years. Much love. 🍾🙏🏽💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/edGxkUYdLz

Aaron Donald has secured over 540 tackles and 110 sacks in his dominant career as an NFL legend defensive tackle. Coming off another dominant year in 2023 sporting a 90.5 pff grade and 10 sacks, Donald has plenty of talent left to play the game. But the position of defensive tackle is a grueling one, particularly for someone who is circled every single play and more often than not double-teamed. Aaron Donald was a generational talent, anyone who watched him play is fortunate to do so.
In the five games of his career against the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Donald accrued 17 tackles and three sacks. Including an impressive two-sack performance on Aaron Rodgers in 2018 and most recently a sack on the young Jordan Love just last year. His Rams also defeated the Packers in the 2021 postseason on their way to a Super Bowl victory.
Aaron Donald has put his talent on display against the Green Bay Packers for nearly a decade. And with the Green Bay Packers scheduled to play the Rams once again in 2024, they will find relief seeing that the matchup will no longer mean seeing Aaron Donald.
