NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Khalil Mack plans to play next season.

02 March 2026

Mack, 35, is set to hit free agency next month, but Rapoport reports the veteran pass-rusher “is a priority” for the Chargers to keep in-house. Whether or not the two sides are able to agree on a deal before free agency kicks off next month remains to be seen, but Mack would have a decent market if he were to become available. He totaled 32 tackles, six TFLs, and 5.5 sacks in 12 games last season, missing a chunk of games due to an elbow injury he suffered in Week 2.
