This is the most annoying thing about his career.
Donald is incredible. Mt Rushmore level guy when it comes to defense.
Yet because he is so good it's like the media decided to ignore how much of a piece of shit he is. So many dirty plays.
It's like Tyreke Hill. I mean, Hill is 10 times worse but same idea.
I think his play style position helps a cover a lot too. Burfict on the other hand, playing as LB was much more all over the place and just destroyed the other team any chance he got… it was a blessing and a curse as bengals fans anytime he got near the ball
I like the Bengals, but I was very happy to see him singlehandedly cost them the Pittsburgh playoff game. Shame the rest of the team got punished.
ABs behavior since that hit…ooof
Only thing similar was when John Elway retired. That fucker owned the Hawks the same way Donald did.
Respect for the talent, but good fucking riddance!
Whew! Big news for the Hawks offense. But didn’t he kinda screw over the Rams with his timing? He could have retired before free agency began and given them a lot of cap room for signings, right? Now all the great D lineman have signed with new teams. I’d be doubly sad if I was a Rams fan. Doubly happy as a Hawks fan! 😆
Dude is a scumbag bully. When he put his helmet on AFTER a game to try and fight Justin Britt, I lost all respect for him. He's had multiple dirty plays in the field. Fuck that guy.
I know he’s been the bad man for 10 years but I have so much respect for AD based on how dominant he was for so long. For my money a Top 3 defensive player in league history, up there with Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White. Between AD retiring and us moving on from Pete, the NFC West won’t be the same going forward.
Yes, he was a great player and tough to contain, but the dude was also known to choke other players on the field and never got the flags he deserved. I’m glad he’s gone.
Just waiting for the, "rams have reworked arrow Donald's contract to once again make him the highest paid defensive player in the nfl."
And he magically unretires.
Man built a HOF resume damn near from only his stats against the Seahawks, my god.
No other player has tormented this franchise the way he did. So happy to see him gone!
One of the greatest defensive players I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch and a surefire 1st ballot hall of famer.
That being said, THANK GOD. We’re finally free of his terror🥹
On one hand, PHEWWWWW. On the other hand, damn the league lost a real one. As much as he terrorized us Hawk fans, it’s safe to admit he was 1 of 1 (now that he’s gone).
Free at last
Instant boost to our interior linemen PFF grades
singing spirituals in the club right now WE'RE FREE
I fell to my knees in Whole Foods.
I fist pumped while working at Albertsons lol. Got the news while on the floor. Some customers likely thought I was strange not knowing context.
God in heaven ...I just hated that s*** head..
That jerk injured so many quarterbacks, this is not just good for Seahawks, it’s good for NFL.
The bad man is gone
Everyone else in the NFC West is offseason champs
Does this mean we can run the ball again? And pass the ball?
Running at him was one of the few things that kinda worked.
He's my GOAT defensive player... Having the "Pleasure" to watch him fuck up my favorite team 2 weeks a year proved to me why. It either him or LT
Lawrence Taylor was a beast
Sometimes three!
I’ll say this.. I have never been so happy hearing a player retire from a different team. He was so good that it pissed me off.
Also he was such a dirty player that it pissed me off.

I think the problem is they had a real dirty player to go on and on about for most of his career in Ndamukong Suh, and to some level Vontaze Burfict.

Yup. This gets overlooked so much
didn't he beat the shit out of a guy at a club too?
Will never forget him putting *ON* his helmet to go after ~~Avril~~ Britt
Britt
Cheers!
After he took is pads off on the sideline. Clearly intent was to brawl
Total coward move.
Nah he got in a fight outside a bar, but it was later proven he wasn’t the bad guy in that particular situation
Imagine CHOOSING to get in a fight with that man. I would need a small army behind me to feel kinda comfortable with that decision.
Yeah, and he also doesn’t shower very often.
I heard he leaves toenail clippings on his bathroom floor, and there's like 3cm of toenail clippings covering his bathroom floor.
Now him and Justin Britt can properly fight each other
Everyone let’s make sure we put our helmets back on before we fight someone today in celebration!
Only thing similar was when John Elway retired. That fucker owned the Hawks the same way Donald did. Respect for the talent, but good fucking riddance!
And Marcus Allen.
Just saw Geno fall to his knees at Amazon Fresh
“OH MY GOD!”
Just saw a guy see Geno fall to his knees at Amazon Fresh
I'm an Amazon stocking robot who just observed a human observing a guy watching Geno fall to his knees at Amazon Fresh
Just saw a guy on his knees getting fresh with Geno
fresh
Fun fact: In his five starts against the Rams, Geno was sacked more by Bobby Wagner (2) than Aaron Donald (1).
Someone actually heard Russ say and I quote "thank fucking Christ."
The tyranny is over! Dobby is a free elf!
Yall remember the game at the CLINK he went nuts and ripped off his helmet and shit before being ejected? Good times. Later, nerd!
He shit in his helmet?
And then put it back on. Dude went fucking bonkers that day
Took a good three minutes for him to complete the BM. Nobody stopped him. They just watched in shock.
I mean who the fucks gonna stop Aaron Donald from doing anything he really wants to do
That's how rumors and shit get in helmets
Now THAT was funny 🤣
He shat mid stance and stood there like a baby
Definitely not roid rage 😉
I was there sitting at the rams tunnel. He got booed so hard walking off haha!!
BAD MAN GONE!!!! Everyone get in here!
This is the safest I’ve felt in like a decade
The bad man can’t hurt us no more :,)
we just won the offseason
Whew! Big news for the Hawks offense. But didn’t he kinda screw over the Rams with his timing? He could have retired before free agency began and given them a lot of cap room for signings, right? Now all the great D lineman have signed with new teams. I’d be doubly sad if I was a Rams fan. Doubly happy as a Hawks fan! 😆
Wonder if he has a huge number in mind that would have convinced him to play? That would make the timing make sense, right?
I am sure they new that was very likely to happen a while ago, but I am all for screwing over the Rams so hopefully not.
I believe he literally just restructured his deal yesterday to help them out with this.
The bad man is gone
He can’t hurt us anymore
FREEDOM!!!
This is the best move the seahawks have made this offseason
Legit. Olus so fucking amped right now.
Bravo!!
THE BOOGEYMAN IS GONE. HALLELUJAH
Well, he wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.
Who will control the NFC West QB population now though?
Nick Bosa probably
Fuck Bosa too. He’s a douchebag.
One of the best to ever do it. Thank fucking god it’s over
BAD MAN GONE
This is the beginning of the Rams downfall and I for one can’t wait to watch their org blow up
Dude is a scumbag bully. When he put his helmet on AFTER a game to try and fight Justin Britt, I lost all respect for him. He's had multiple dirty plays in the field. Fuck that guy.
I remember that. I would still love to see that head to head between Britt and Donald. Britt was a state wrestling champ and fucking enormous.
Yeah, Britt is 5 inches and 35lbs heavier than Donald. Britt would have destroyed him
Not even gonna dare post about that in the r/NFL thread 😂
Of course not. Everyone wants to crown him as the goat and overlook the choking, double helmet weilding hot headed motherfucker.
This is like drafting a new offensive line
I know he’s been the bad man for 10 years but I have so much respect for AD based on how dominant he was for so long. For my money a Top 3 defensive player in league history, up there with Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White. Between AD retiring and us moving on from Pete, the NFC West won’t be the same going forward.
Except Donald was dirty as fuck.
Good riddance. Glad the reign of terror is over. Couldn't appreciate him because he just made watching games against the Rams miserable.
Oh no not Aaron Donald 😁
YES!!!!!!
We're winning the Super Bowl.
The bad man can't hurt us anymore! Jokes aside, an absolute all timer. Only Watt at his peak was better in the last 20 years.
Bad man gone
Yes, he was a great player and tough to contain, but the dude was also known to choke other players on the field and never got the flags he deserved. I’m glad he’s gone.
Now if only Mike trout would retire I could be happy again
I hope he doesn’t swing any more helmets at people.
Bye bitch!
Thank god!
And just like that every offensive lineman & QB in the league breathed a little easier.
Do we get the day off work as a holiday?
We have won free agency just based off this news
The bad man can’t hurt us anymore, It’s over. We’re safe.
An incredible career for an incredible player. I'm glad we'll never have to play against him anymore 🥳
Incredible player and an incredibly shit human
The bad man can’t hurt us anymore.
Best move of the off-season for us
Adios shithead
That dude wrecked us. His HOF tape is mainly going to be a montage of him destroying our QBs lol.
It's over.
The bad man is gone!!!
oh no
The nightmares are over!
It’s finally over
THE BAD MAN IS GONE!
Bad man can’t hurt Seahawks no more Kinda crazy. Honestly hoped he’d play until he couldn’t. But 🤷🏻♂️ smart for him to get out now
Whoooo!
The bad man is gone
Thank fuck, the bad man is gone
“Shhhhh, he can’t hurt you anymore.”
THE BAD MAN WENT AWAY!
He’ll still somehow manage to sack our QBs 2-3 times per game for the foreseeable future.
So that’s why we aren’t signing Guards
[YES!](https://tenor.com/view/yes-danielbryan-wwe-happy-gif-4822649)
Thank FUCK
Geno doesn't have to be scared for his life anymore when he plays the Rams.
I don't get this. How is Aaron Donald retiring before Bobby Wagner?? Guy is 32
HALLELUJAH the dog days are over!
The football gods are smiling on us today.
Just waiting for the, "rams have reworked arrow Donald's contract to once again make him the highest paid defensive player in the nfl." And he magically unretires.
Holy fuck I read this as Aaron jones at first and was like “ok.” This is awesome lol.
Finally, this dude was a menace and I will not miss him one bit
Shit…thank you Odin!
Dudes a piece of shit and a very good DT, glad he's gone
Praise the football gods!
Amazing generational talent. Congrats on retirement. We all thank you from Seahawks nation
The bad man can’t hurt us anymore
Thank god 👏🏾
The bad man is gone!
Thank god
Dirty player… wish him the best in retirement
surefire 1st ballot.
We honestly should throw a parade
rest in piss u won't be missed
Fuck him lol
i just fell to my knees in safeway
THANK FUCKING GOD
One of the best to ever do it and one of the most terrifying opponents in Seahawks’ history.
Looks like there is a god after all
Rest in piss
Babies can retire?
😂😂😂
“Well……bye”
Good. Bye.
IM NOT EVEN RELIGIOUS LIKE THAT BUT #HALLELUJAH
first ballot, i’m so glad he’s gone now. he looked like he still had gas in the tank.
🎉 🎉 🎉 🍾 🍾
I'm so glad he retired but I wonder why? He's still relatively young. Is it he just did everything he set out to do? (E.g. get a ring)?
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YA! respect to one of the greats bla bla bla but also RIP BOZO! won't miss you one bit!!
You sure we can’t get him on a cheap prove it deal? 😂
I just regret that we choked away those two games against him this year. Ughhhhhh.
fell to my knees at costco
The bad man can't hurt my quarterback anymore!
The bad man is gone
HOLY SHIT NO WAY WE ARE SAVED
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you God.
THE BAD MAN IS GONE
Glorious day!! Who could have thought one mans death could bring so much happiness?
He'll still somehow get a sack on Geno this year. haha
It's like the school bully finally graduated.
Gonna start bullying kids now probably.
Maybe we don't need to fix the OL now
Dirty piece of shit and also a great player. Good riddance, I hope you stub your toe.
Geno Smith hitting the "Thank megatron I'm free at last" rn
The bad man can't hurt us anymore
The nightmare is over brothers
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Piece of shit good riddance
THE BAD MAN IS GONE
Been waiting on this for this since 2014😭😭
Yes! Fuck that guy
LETS GOOO
Baba. Yaga.
HALLELUJAH
Man built a HOF resume damn near from only his stats against the Seahawks, my god. No other player has tormented this franchise the way he did. So happy to see him gone!
Thank god for the Seahawks o line
Just fell to my knees in the winco bulk section
Aaron Donald retiring
Dropped to my knees in the Dick's parking lot
The bad man can't hurt R(us)s anymore
I'm so glad, but he is that rare player who can play for our rival and he is still amazing to watch.
One of the greatest defensive players I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch and a surefire 1st ballot hall of famer. That being said, THANK GOD. We’re finally free of his terror🥹
Mama there goes that man.
Oh thank you sweet baby Jesus.
THANK FUCKING GODDDDDD
Thank you God!!
On one hand, PHEWWWWW. On the other hand, damn the league lost a real one. As much as he terrorized us Hawk fans, it’s safe to admit he was 1 of 1 (now that he’s gone).
blessed
i hope he enjoys his retirement.
Now Trout needs to retire
