Source: Donald holdout may spill into season
The holdout of Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald may spill into the regular season, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Thursday.
A source speculated that he could envision Donald sitting out the entire 2017 season, though a lot can change in any negotiation in a hurry. But the fact that such strong thoughts exist now provides a snapshot that the two sides are not particularly close to a deal.
The source said the two sides will stay in touch, but there is pessimism about how long Donald's holdout could last.
