Overview

  • Mack signed a one-year, $18 million contract in March to return for his 12th NFL season without entering unrestricted free agency.
  • He briefly considered retirement due to the mental grind of preparation but chose to pursue a Super Bowl with familiar leadership and teammates.
  • At mandatory minicamp in El Segundo, Mack highlighted his physical readiness and challenged younger players such as cornerback Tarheeb Still to elevate their workout regimen.
  • Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said Mack’s return “means everything” for a unit that led the NFL by allowing just 17.7 points per game last season.
  • The Chargers have retooled their defense around Mack, Pro Bowler Derwin James Jr. and linebacker Daiyan Henley after releasing Joey Bosa, with eyes on deeper postseason runs.
