Rams GM: Aaron Donald 'deserves a raise'

The Los Angeles Rams have made it clear paying Aaron Donald is a priority.

The elite defensive tackle is entering the final year of his rookie contract, but he's set to be a rich man.

Rams general manager Les Snead said Thursday at the scouting combine that an extension for Donald is coming.

"He deserves a raise," Snead said, according to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com.

Donald has dominated in his first three NFL seasons. He has campaigns of nine, 11, and eight sacks and ranked eighth in theScore's Top 100 NFL Players of 2016 list.
