Would the Rams take this hypothetical trade offer for Aaron Donald? (ramswire)

“They’ll do so with Aaron Donald on the team, hoping to push for one more championship before his contract expires after the 2024 season. The Rams have no plans to part ways with Donald the way they did with Jalen Ramsey, Bobby Wagner and Leonard Floyd last year, but that isn’t stopping people from pitching hypothetical trade offers for the future Hall of Famer.

Bleacher Report came up with five trades that would help prevent a Chiefs threepeat and one of them was the Bengals acquiring Donald from the Rams. The offer?

Rams get: 2024 first-round pick (No. 18 overall) and 2024 third-round pick (No. 80 overall)

Bengals get: Aaron Donald”
