"ESPN sources: Nine-time Pro-Bowl edge Khalil Mack reached agreement today with the Chargers on a one-year deal, and he now will be returning to Los Angeles for his 13th NFL season. Mack would have been a free agent this week, but no longer."
"ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports it is a one-year pact worth $18 million fully guaranteed. When we discussed Mack as a possible free-agent fit for a Chicago Bears team in search of a veteran edge presence this offseason, his contract projection from Pro Football Focus came in at one-year and $14 million."
"With Mack going back to the Chargers, other edge rusher options become available, including Jaelan Phillips, Odafe Oweh, Boye Mafe, and Joey Bosa. Cam Jordan, who has yet to reach a contractual agreement with the New Orleans Saints, could potentially reunite with Bears Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen."
Nine-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Khalil Mack agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers worth $18 million fully guaranteed, securing his return for his 13th NFL season. The deal exceeded Pro Football Football Focus projections of $14 million, establishing a baseline for veteran edge rusher market value. With Mack remaining in Los Angeles, other edge rusher options become available for teams seeking veteran pass rush help, including Jaelan Phillips, Odafe Oweh, Boye Mafe, Joey Bosa, and Cam Jordan. The Chicago Bears, who had explored Mack as a potential free agent acquisition, must now pursue alternative edge rusher solutions.
