Khalil Mack chooses yet one more 12 months with the Chargers
Mack has performed every of the previous 4 seasons with the Chargers and is coming off a 2025 season that noticed him file a career-low 5.5 sacks. He was restricted to only 12 video games as a consequence of harm and was not fairly 100% all year long.
That may very well be a possible pink flag going into this season.
Mack goes to be 35 years previous, and pass-rushers don’t all the time age gracefully the deeper they get into their 30s. Sooner or later, you begin to bear in mind why it’s primarily a younger participant’s sport.
Having stated that, there may be not a lot of a danger right here for the Chargers. They’re loaded with wage cap area this offseason (and might simply create extra), and there’s no long-term danger past this season. Mack additionally performed nicely (even when the sack numbers weren’t constantly there) when he was wholesome in 2025. Given his standing as a crew chief, the truth that this needs to be thought-about a win-now season, and that he would possibly nonetheless have one thing left to supply, makes a smart transfer for the Chargers.
