Khalil Mack Stays with Chargers on $18M Deal

0:00It's March 8th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. Khalil Mack, the star-pass rusher, has decided to stick with the Los Angeles Chargers. He was set to hit free agency, but agreed to a one-year deal worth $18 million, fully guaranteed. This keeps him in LA after four strong seasons there. The agreement came together just two days before free agency officially kicked off. That timing led Mack away his options early, even with the usual pre-window chatter around the league. Mack entered the NFL as the fifth overall pick by the Raiders back in 2014. He spent four years in Oakland before a trade to the Bears, then landed with the Chargers four seasons ago. He's a nine-time pro-buller and earned defensive player of the year honors in 2016. Mack has racked up 113 sacks in his career, ranking sixth among active players and tied for 40th all-time. This move bolsters the Chargers' defense heading into the new league year. Fans are thrilled to see the veterans stay put and chase more big plays.
