Chargers' Khalil Mack pondering NFL future heading into free agency
Our Summary
Khalil Mack's 12th NFL season concluded without a playoff victory as the Los Angeles Chargers were defeated 16-3 by the New England Patriots, marking Mack's sixth one-and-done postseason appearance. At 35 next month, Mack is contemplating whether to pursue a 13th season or retire. Last year, he considered retirement before signing a one-year contract with the Chargers. Mack is set to enter free agency in March. Despite missing five games due to injury, he recorded 5.5 sacks, 11 QB hits, and 32 tackles this season. With 113 career sacks, Mack ranks 29th all-time and seventh among active players. If he chooses to continue, Mack's pass-rushing skills would still attract interest from teams.
