"Khalil Mack, one of the top edges available, will play in 2026, sources say. At the age of 35, coming off a strong season, Mack is a priority for LA. Instead of retirement, Mack is back exploring all options and will be a big-time target in free agency."
"In his age-34 season, Mack collected 5.5 sacks, 11 quarterback hits, and six tackles-for-loss in 12 games. From an advanced analytics standpoint, Mack graded out well. His 83.0 overall grade from Pro Football Focus ranked 12th among 115 qualifying edge defenders."
"Mack might not be the dominant game-changer he was when he arrived in Los Angeles in 2022. And he might not be the franchise-altering presence he was when he landed in Chicago in 2018. But it is clear to me that there is still gas in the tank."
Khalil Mack has decided to continue his NFL career into 2026 rather than retire. At 35 years old, coming off a productive season with the Chargers, Mack recorded 5.5 sacks, 11 quarterback hits, and six tackles-for-loss in 12 games. His Pro Football Focus grade of 83.0 ranked 12th among edge defenders, with strong run defense metrics. While no longer the dominant force of his earlier years, Mack demonstrates remaining capability. The Bears, his former team from 2018-2021, could potentially pursue him as he enters free agency.
