Personally, I feel that Donald may decide to retire after this season.
I'll be wrong, but my feeling is that he re-does his contract and there is a no-hard-feelings trade to Pittsburgh. He and Watt together? Ouch!
I think he wants to keep playing, I don't think he wants to keep playing away from his family. He has a wife and son in L.A. but two previous children in PA.
These two edits from this article on his wife:

However, Aaron's two older children, Jaeda and Aaron Jr., live in Pittsburgh. The distance has caused Aaron to contemplate retiring, especially since Jaeda started school and had less time to visit her dad.
"I'm thinking about my kids, first, always," he told Sports Illustrated when discussing why he might retire at his peak.
"If it wasn't for [Erica], I don't know where I would be mentally," Aaron told Sports Illustrated. The Rams star opened up to SI about his blended family, which hasn't always been easy to manage. Living apart from his oldest children took its toll on Aaron, who requested time off from the Rams to visit his kids in Pittsburgh.
"When I came home, I just wasn't myself. If my kids' situation is not in order, my world is not in order. Honestly, it has always been about [them]," he said.
