Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the one-year pact was finalized ahead of the league’s negotiating window, preventing Mack from testing free agency.
  • Mack, 35, returns for his 13th NFL season and fifth with Los Angeles after considering retirement earlier this offseason.
  • He was limited to 12 games in 2025 by a dislocated elbow and finished with 5.5 sacks, though team analyses highlighted his run defense and leadership.
  • With Mack back and defensive tackle Teair Tart re-signed, the Chargers are expected to focus on retaining fellow edge rusher Odafe Oweh.
  • The short, fully guaranteed deal preserves pass-rush continuity under new defensive coordinator Chris O’Leary without adding long-term cap risk.
