The Athletic’s Daniel Popper writes that the Chargers will “be in the driver’s seat” for Khalil Mack as he tests free agency.

ESPN’s reporting has Mack playing in 2025, and Mack is already on record as saying: “As long as Justin Herbert is your quarterback, and you got Derwin James and all these guys that love the game of football, and you got Jim Harbaugh coaching them, you know you always have a chance to win. That’s a no-brainer in the sense of, yeah, if you know football, then you know.” If winning remains the main priority for Mack, it’s hard to imagine a better situation than the Chargers unless he truly wants to go ring-hunting on a bargain contract.
