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,

The outside linebacker, set to become a free agent and uncertain about his future after the playoff loss to Houston, said his best chance to win was to re-sign

The nine-time Pro Bowler may be in his final playing years, but the Chicago Bears need pass rushers, and Mack is still a force to be reckoned with.

After the Chargers' loss to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round on Jan. 11, the 33-year-old Mack said he would take some time to decide his future. Apparently, he decided he has more football left to play.

Khalil Mack openly contemplated retiring after the Chargers' wild-card loss but now is aiming to play in 2025. He'll become a free agent in March.

Pass rusher Khalil Mack, who said after the Chargers' postseason loss to the Texans that he needed to take some time to mull his future, will indeed play in the 2025 season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

While Super Bowl 59 looms, the NFL's best players take center stage for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. For the third consecutive year, the league's best will compete in a series of skills competitions and a flag football game, eschewing the traditional tackle football event. Games include dodgeball, tug-of-war and punting competitions.

A veteran pass rusher with Khalil Mack's pedigree would be perfect for the Atlanta Falcons. New (ish) defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will look to upgrade his unit's pass rush and Mack feels like the perfect piece.

The showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 is almost here, but before they compete for the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three years, the NFL Pro Bowl (and its ancillary events) are set to take center stage.

While some stars opted out, Burrow and Baker Mayfield will be among the players on hand for the revamped games.

The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to improve their roster in the second season under coach Jim Harbaugh. They were able to make the playoffs as a Wild Card team but lost in the AFC Wild Card Round to the Houston Texans in one of the worst games of quarterback Justin Herbert 's career.
