Following the Los Angeles Chargers' wild-card loss to the Houston Texans, nine-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Khalil Mack said he needed to take some time to decide on his future playing career. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday,

The outside linebacker, set to become a free agent and uncertain about his future after the playoff loss to Houston, said his best chance to win was to re-sign

The Chargers head into free agency with a handful of their own players whose contracts are up, most notably edge defender Khalil Mack. Earlier this month, Mack said he would take time to figure out his future. Despite considering retirement, he made it clear he will play in 2025.

Los Angeles Chargers veteran linebacker Khalil Mack committed to returning for the 2025 season after initially mulling retirement, and the team is

Per NFL Insider Adam Schefter, "Nine-time Pro-Bowl LB Khalil Mack, who said after the Chargers' postseason loss to the Texans that he needed to take some time to mull his future, will indeed play in the 2025 season, per source. Mack's contract is up and he is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent."

As Khalil Mack debated retirement, a key team has been the Los Angeles Chargers. Although he never formally retired, he teased the idea quite frequently after the deflating Chargers defeat in the playoffs. However, Mack has plenty of interest from other NFL teams.

The nine-time Pro Bowler may be in his final playing years, but the Chicago Bears need pass rushers, and Mack is still a force to be reckoned with.

After the Chargers' loss to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round on Jan. 11, the 33-year-old Mack said he would take some time to decide his future. Apparently, he decided he has more football left to play.

While Super Bowl 59 looms, the NFL's best players take center stage for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. For the third consecutive year, the league's best will compete in a series of skills competitions and a flag football game, eschewing the traditional tackle football event. Games include dodgeball, tug-of-war and punting competitions.

A veteran pass rusher with Khalil Mack's pedigree would be perfect for the Atlanta Falcons. New (ish) defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will look to upgrade his unit's pass rush and Mack feels like the perfect piece.

The showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 is almost here, but before they compete for the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three years, the NFL Pro Bowl (and its ancillary events) are set to take center stage.

While some stars opted out, Burrow and Baker Mayfield will be among the players on hand for the revamped games.
