Overview

  • Mack signed a one-year, $18 million fully guaranteed contract in March, technically sidestepping free agency.
  • He briefly contemplated retirement due to the mental grind of the NFL but arrived early to minicamp to lead by example.
  • Despite nine Pro Bowl nods and a Defensive Player of the Year award, he has never won a playoff game in five career appearances.
  • Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said having Mack back “means everything,” emphasizing his impact on the unit.
  • With Joey Bosa headed to the Bills, the Chargers’ defense will rely on Mack, emerging pass-rusher Tuli Tuipulotu and Coach Jim Harbaugh’s system after an 11-6 season.
