Overview

  • Mack agreed to a fully guaranteed one-year, $18 million deal just before free agency opened, extending his stay for a fourth season with the Chargers.
  • The nine-time Pro Bowler briefly weighed retirement and exploring other teams but chose to remain in Los Angeles to continue his championship chase.
  • He praised coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz for building a culture and leadership structure that made staying a clear choice.
  • Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter lauded Mack’s return and his offseason work for setting a standard in training that has energized younger players.
  • With Joey Bosa released in a salary move, Mack anticipates third-year edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu stepping into a larger pass-rush role this season.
