If a player wants his contract abolished in 2017 then that player cannot be asking for assumed value of a contract in 2019. The Rams are already giving him an additional 30 million by throwing away two years of a cheap contract. Plus the Rams are fronting cash.
He didn't ask for his contract to be "abolished."
NFL rules under the new CBA allow first round picks the option of asking to renegotiate after their 3rd year. Essentially it means asking for an extension.
Several players have already done it, and they got extensions as a result. So far Donald is the only player who opted for this option who did not get an extension (yet). Though he probably will.
