Chargers' Khalil Mack, 33, Weighs Retirement After 32-12 Playoff Loss
Jan 13, 2025, 12:13 AM
Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack is contemplating retirement after an 11-year NFL career. Following the Chargers' 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card round, Mack, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time, expressed uncertainty about his football future. The 33-year-old, a nine-time Pro Bowler and 2016 Defensive Player of the Year, cited family considerations and the mental toll of the game as factors in his decision-making process. Despite his individual accolades, Mack has never won a playoff game, losing all five postseason appearances in his career. He acknowledged the Chargers' potential for success under head coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert but emphasized the need to consult with his family before making a decision. Mack recorded six sacks and 39 tackles during the 2024 season, including two sacks in the playoff loss. He has not set a timeline for his decision.
