Chargers veteran OLB Khalil Mack told reporters after Saturday’s loss to the Texans that he will mull retirement this offseason.
“Man, it’s a lot of different thoughts in my head right now,” Mack said, via ESPN.com. “I can’t really speak on a definitive decision in terms of what I’m going to do because I don’t know if I’m going to play football moving forward, so there’s some things I gotta talk through with my wife, spend some time with my kids and try not to make a rash decision after a loss.”
Mack is in line to be a free agent next year and there has been speculation that the Chargers could move on Joey Bosa, so it’s possible they could have a new set of starting edge rushers to open the season.
Mack, 33, is a former first-round pick by Raiders back in 2014 out of Buffalo. Mack played out the final year of his four-year, $18,677,002 deal and the Raiders picked up his fifth-year option.
The Raiders later traded Mack to the Bears in a deal that included two first-round picks. Mack signed a six-year, $141 million extension that included $90 million guaranteed with Chicago.
In 2024, Mack appeared in 16 games for the Chargers and made 16 starts for them, recording 39 tackles, six sacks, a fumble recovery, two forced fumbles and nine pass defenses.
