Khalil Mack Fantasy Stats

All-Pro edge rusher Khalil Mack has agreed to a one-year, fully guaranteed $18 million deal to return to the Los Angeles Chargers, taking one of the top potential free agents off the market, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. A Pro Bowler in his first three years with the team, Mack now enters his fifth season with the Bolts, his longest stay with one team as he enters year 13 of his brilliant career. While his pass-rush numbers have fallen precipitously since his career-high 17-sack campaign in 2023, the former fifth overall pick is still one of the league's most dominant edge-setters. Mack's 113 career sacks put him just outside the top 25 in NFL history, and he is likely to wear a gold jacket whenever he decides to walk away from the game.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on Seattle Sports on Thursday that Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent outside linebacker Khalil Mack could be a "great fit" with the Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks. The nine-time Pro Bowler is an elite run defender and has ranked among the top 10 edge rushers at Pro Football Focus in each of the last three seasons. Mack has a total of 113 sacks and 36 forced fumbles in his 12-year career with the Raiders, Chicago Bears, and Chargers, including a career-high 17 sacks in 2023. The 35-year-old veteran and former fifth overall pick by the Raiders in 2014 out of Buffalo only played in 12 games last year due to an elbow injury and finished with 32 tackles (19 solo), 5.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, and four forced fumbles. Mack recently announced that he plans on playing in 2026, and he's ranked by ESPN as the No. 4 edge rusher and the No. 20 overall player available in free agency this offseason.

Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent linebacker Khalil Mack will play in 2026, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The 35-year-old is coming off a strong season in 2025 and will be one of the top edge rushers available in free agency, but he'll be a priority for the Chargers to try to re-sign. Rapoport writes that Mack is "back exploring all options." The nine-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro, and former fifth overall pick in 2014 by the Raiders played in 12 games last year and had 32 tackles (19 solo), 5.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, and four forced fumbles for the Bolts. The aging linebacker has 11.5 sacks the last two seasons combined, but he's only two years removed from a career-high 17-sack season in 2023 in L.A. After signing a one-year, $18 million contract with the Chargers last March, he could be approached with a similar one-year pact to remain in Hollywood for a fifth straight season.

Former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, fully guaranteed $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. After the Chargers released pass-rusher Joey Bosa last week, it was imperative that the Chargers retain linebacker Mack after he decided in the offseason that he would be returning for another season. The 34-year-old veteran, three-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler wasn't quite as good as he was in 2024 as he was in 2023 when he had a career-best 17 sacks, but he was still productive. Mack finished with 39 tackles (20 solo), six sacks, six tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. Mack will still be relevant in IDP fantasy leagues in what will likely be his final season, but the absence of Bosa will probably mean more double-teams.

Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack has announced he will play at least one more season after retirement rumors following the 2024 campaign, but the former fifth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. However, Daniel Popper of The Athletic believes the Chargers are "in the driver's seat" to keep Mack in the organization as he tests free agency. The 33-year-old collected 17 sacks in 2023 before a six-sack season in 2024, but he is still a disruptive player, and the organization might not be far away from Super Bowl contention after making the playoff in the first year with head coach Jim Harbaugh at the helm. Contending teams will likely be interested in Mack's services, but it sounds like L.A. will be among the potential suitors.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Los Angeles Chargers nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker Khalil Mack will return to play in 2025, according to a source. Mack said after the wild-card playoff loss to the Houston Texans that he needed time to decide on his future, but he has chosen to come back for at least one more season. However, the 33-year-old's contract with the Chargers is up and he will be an unrestricted free agent this March. Now that we know Mack wants to keep playing, the Bolts will probably do everything in their power to re-sign Mack, who had a down year in 2024 after posting a career-high 17 sacks in his second year in L.A. in 2023. The three-time All-Pro and former Defensive Player of the Year finished his third year with the Chargers with only six sacks in 16 regular-season starts. Wherever Mack lands in free agency, he could be more of a situational pass-rusher in 2025.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz said they want to bring impending free-agent pass-rusher Khalil Mack back for the 2025 season. "I don't know if it's possible to get everybody back, but I wanna get as darn close as possible and nobody more than Khalil Mack," Harbaugh said. In addition to being a free agent when the new league year begins in March, Mack has acknowledged that he'll be contemplating retirement this offseason. Despite dropping from a career-high 17 sacks in 2023 to only six in 16 regular-season games in 2024, Mack, a three-time All-Pro, made his ninth Pro Bowl and was an integral part of a strong Bolts defense in Harbaugh's first year as head coach. If the 33-year-old does choose to play one more year, LA will have a good shot at re-signing the former first-rounder. Despite playing in 16 games, a groin injury severely impacted his production.

According to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack is considering retirement. Mack is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and has been one of the top pass rushers over the past decade. Mack was drafted with the fifth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. He spent four years with the Raiders before moving to Chicago, where he called home for the next four seasons. He then joined the Chargers, where he spent the past three seasons of his career. This season, the 33-year-old tallied 39 tackles and six sacks across 16 games. Overall, Mack has tallied 107.5 sacks and 630 tackles across his 11-season NFL career.

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack (groin), who was questionable to play in Week 12, is active on Monday night versus the Baltimore Ravens. Mack will return to the pass-rushing fold for the Bolts after sitting out the Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals due to a groin issue. It's good news for the Chargers defense in a tough matchup against the second-highest-scoring offense in the league. The 33-year-old Mack had a career-high 17 sacks in his second season in LA in 2024 4.5 sacks through nine starts in 2024. He could be on some sort of a snap count in his first game back on Monday night, which makes him a more volatile starting defensive line option in IDP fantasy formats. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is extremely hard to reach in the backfield and bring down for sacks, which is another reason to fade Mack in his return.

The Los Angeles Chargers expect pass-rusher Khalil Mack (groin) to play on Monday night against the visiting Baltimore Ravens to close out Week 12 action. Mack was listed as questionable for Monday's game due to a groin injury that kept him sidelined for the team's Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday night. The 33-year-old veteran linebacker made the Pro Bowl for the eighth time in his career in 2023 in his second year with the Bolts, when he went off for a career-best 17 sacks. In his third season, he hasn't been quite as good, recording only 4.5 sacks and 26 tackles (12 solo) in nine starts. It looks like Mack will return on Monday night across from Joey Bosa as a strong Chargers defense looks to slow down one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league -- second with 30.4 points per game.
