Pro Football Rumors
After the end of the 2024 season, Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack said that he was contemplating retirement. He opted to play another year and re-signed in Los Angeles on a one-year deal, hoping to make another playoff run.
That never materialized. The Chargers exited in the first round for a second season in a row, leaving the 34-year-old considering his future once again. Last year, he said (via team writer Omar Navarro) that he wanted to consult his family and avoid “a rash decision after a loss.”
He said something similar after Sunday’s loss to the Patriots: “Not trying to make that decision right now like I’ve almost done before. Trying to stay as present as possible, stay prayed up, make a decision based on how I’m feeling and how my family is feeling, the vibes.”
