But Verse dumped cold water on the idea.Jared Verse, Los Angeles RamsGettyJared Verse spoke candidly about Aaron Donald possibly returning to the Los Angeles Rams.Donald’s potential return to the Rams has been sparked by LA’s trade for Myles Garrett, for whom they dealt Verse as part of a package to the Cleveland Browns this offseason. Donald specifically noted that the move got him reconsidering his previous stance of staying retired.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementVerse, who infamously challenged Donald to a workout and ended up on the wrong side, did not doubt Donald’s ability to come back.Instead, he suggested it was the 2021 Super Bowl champ’s desire that may not be there.“Man, when a lot of people retire, they done for good. But if anybody could unretire and come back and play, it’d be AD,” Verse said during an interview with “Good Morning Football” host Seth Rollins on July 15. “But I genuinely–me, personally–I don’t believe he’s unretiring until he says, ‘I’m coming back.’ When he says he’s doing something, when he says, ‘I’m retired,’ he’s retired. If he says he’s coming back, he’s coming back. Until I hear from the horse’s mouth, I ain’t hearing nothing else.”Donald has noted that it was indeed his passion for the game and all that it took for him to be ready and available for games that were gone.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe said that fire must be there for him to return.To that end, Donald recently worked out at the Rams’ facilities, which led to Rollins’ question for Verse. It has been described as a trial to see how his body and mind responded to his first taste of the grind in two years.The Browns are not asking Jared Verse to replace Myles Garrett.GettyJared Verse did not expect to be traded from the Los Angeles Rams.Verse was asked about his feelings when learning about his trade from the Rams to the Browns this offseason, and he did not mince words, speaking just as candidly as he did about Donald.“I’d be lying to y’all if I said it didn’t hurt, if it didn’t bother me.
