"Went to two Super Bowls. Won one, lost one.
I'm complete. I'm full," Donald said in a video posted to his X
account Wednesday.
"I think the passion to play the game is no longer there for me.
I will always love football, but to think about going through
another camp and another 17 (game) season, I just don't got the
urge to want to push myself to do that no more."
Donald recorded 111 sacks and 543 tackles in 154 career games
(150 starts) since being selected by the Rams with the 13th
overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Pittsburgh.
Los Angeles coach Sean McVay said Donald used those words -- I'm
full -- when he informed the franchise his career was ending.
Donald teased an upcoming video in his statement online
Wednesday.
"I'm burnt out. ... I'm full, I'm complete, I'm satisfied with
what I was able to do in 10 years and I think it's time for me,
at 32 years old, to retire from football and jump into the next
step of my career and my life, and now it's time to move on," he
said.
