Khalil Mack Re-Signs with Chargers: A Closer Look at the Veteran Pass Rusher's Career and Impact
Veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack, who had been considering his options in free agency, made a decision to remain with the Chargers just two days before the free agency period began. The agreement was reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN and is for a one-year deal. Originally drafted as the fifth overall pick in 2014, Mack spent four years with the Raiders before being traded to the Bears and eventually to the Chargers. With nine Pro Bowl selections and the 2016 defensive player of the year award under his belt, Mack has accumulated 113.0 career sacks, ranking him sixth among active players and tied for 40th on the all-time list. Despite the deal being finalized before free agency officially started, Mack likely weighed his options and considered other offers due to the widespread tampering that occurs in the days leading up to the negotiating window opening.
