NFL Twitter reacts to Aaron Donald's contract extension

A month ago, the Rams signed their All-Pro RB Todd Gurley to a record-breaking contract extension. The team has paid a slew of veterans and newcomers this offseason. On Friday morning, they signed the crown jewel of their defense -- reigning Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. The Rams and the 27-year-old DE agreed to a six-year, $135 million extension.
