Nine-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Khalil Mack has agreed to return to the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year, fully guaranteed $18 million contract, according to multiple reports on Saturday.

Mack, 35, made the Pro Bowl his first three years with the Chargers before the 2025 season, when he played in 12 games (11 starts) and was credited with 32 tackles, 5.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and one safety. An elbow injury sidelined him for five games.

Mack was selected to the Pro Bowl from 2015-20 and from 2022-24. The 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Mack was first-team All-Pro in 2015, 2016 and 2018.

For his career, Mack has 662 tackles, 113 sacks, 148 tackles for loss, 196 quarterback hits, three interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), 36 forced fumbles and 13 fumble recoveries in 179 games (177 starts) for the Oakland Raiders (2014-17), Chicago Bears (2018-20) and Chargers.
