Khalil Mack explains his decision to re-sign with the Chargers
Khalil Mack explains his decision to re-sign with the Chargers The Chargers brought back a key piece of the team this offseason, as they re-signed edge rushers Khalil Mack to a one-year deal. Mack contemplated retirement following the 2024 season, but decided not to hang up the cleats and stay with the team that traded for him in 2022. The 34-year-old Mack has been vocal about wanting to win and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, which was the primary reason he stayed in Los Angeles, calling it a "no-brainer." "I had to be fair in the approach to things and not making it about just finances and all the different things," Mack said. "I tried to make it more so just about winning ball games." While winning the Super Bowl was a key factor for re-signing with the Bolts, Mack also values the relationships he has built with players and coaches, even highlighting Executive Director of Player Performance Ben Herbert. Mack is coming off another productive season. He finished first among the team in quarterback pressures (54) and second in sacks (6). Mack also had the second-highest Pro Football Focus run defense grade among all edge rushers in the NFL (88.0). As a result, he earned a third consecutive Pro Bowl nod. In 11 seasons in the league, Mack has played in five playoff games but has yet to notch a single postseason victory. He sees the potential in the current roster and coaching staff and believes they have what it takes to win it all. "Just not wanting to give up on that goal and that ambition that I have ever since I stepped into the league," Mack said. "I knew I wanted to play in important games and win a Super Bowl."
