The move made the Rams an even stronger contender to win next season’s Super Bowl than it was going into the offseason. And now, there are rumors that three-time NFL DPOY Aaron Donald is considering coming out of retirement to join forces with Garrett on the Rams next season.

With the Super Bowl set to take place at SoFi Stadium in 2027, Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. wants to go head-to-head with the LA rivals in the championship game.
“First of all, I play defense, I don’t gotta block those guys,” James said jokingly on “Good Morning Football” when asked about the Rams getting Garrett and potentially adding Donald back into the defensive line.
“Second of all, nothing but respect for Myles Garrett and those guys out there. He’s one of the best pass rushers of all time. I feel like he’s going to do great for them. It’s great for them.
“I’m more excited for my team. Hopefully it’s Rams-Chargers in the Super Bowl. I can’t wait, it’s at SoFi, so that will be very exciting,” James added.

What Moves Have The Chargers Made This Offseason?
The Chargers have also made some big roster moves this offseason. Most recently, the Chargers signed tight end David Njoku to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million in mid-May.

Back in March, the Chargers bolstered the offensive line by signing guard Cole Strange and center Tyler Biadasz in free agency. Additionally, the Chargers signed fullback Alec Ingold and tight end Charlie Kolar to free agent deals. Kolar’s three-year, $24.3 million made him the NFL’s highest-paid blocking tight end.
In that same month, Los Angeles also extended Khalil Mack and Trey Pipkins III.
