The veteran pass rusher was mulling retirement following the Los Angeles Chargers first round exit from the playoffs, but Khalil Mack has made a decision.

Following the Los Angeles Chargers' wild-card loss to the Houston Texans, nine-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Khalil Mack said he needed to take some time to decide on his future playing career. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday,

Mack is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he’ll be entering his 12th NFL season at age 34. Last season for the Chargers he posted 6.0 sacks – a steep drop off from the 17.0 he posted in 2023. Despite the dip in production, the San Francisco 49ers should be in hot pursuit of Mack in free agency.
