Khalil Mack Re-Signs with Chargers on One-Year, $18M Deal

The nine-time Pro Bowler and former Defensive Player of the Year will return to Los Angeles for a fourth season, bypassing free agency and retirement.

Khalil Mack, 34, agreed to a fully guaranteed one-year, $18 million contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, securing his return for the 2025 season.
Mack contemplated retirement but opted to continue his career, citing 'unfinished business' and the desire to help the Chargers achieve playoff success.
The deal keeps one of the league's top edge rushers off the free-agent market and allows the Chargers to focus on other roster needs, including wide receiver and defensive line depth.
Mack led the Chargers in 2024 with a 13% pass rush win rate and earned his ninth Pro Bowl selection despite battling midseason injuries.
The Chargers released fellow edge rusher Joey Bosa last week, saving over $25 million in cap space, while Mack remains a cornerstone of their defense.
