Rumors suggest that the Chargers are considering trading veteran edge rusher Khalil Mack during the 2024 offseason.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, multiple teams are expressing interest in acquiring the Pro Bowl edge rusher. Fowler mentioned on Sunday's SportsCenter that Khalil Mack "is one in particular that I know multiple teams I've spoken to have an eye on because he had the 17 sacks a year ago. Huge cap hit and [the Chargers] can save $20-plus million on their cap if they were to trade or move on. Maybe there's a trade possibility for a team in need of a pass rusher and there will be many in that market around free agency."
Standing at 6'3″ and weighing 239 pounds, the future Hall of Famer is currently under team control for this offseason, but he doesn't have much control over where he'll play in the 2024 NFL season.
Mack signed a six-year, $141 million contract while with the Chicago Bears, with $60 million guaranteed at the time of signing. He will enter the final season of that contract next year.
With three-time All-Pro honors and the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year award to his name, Mack showcased his enduring talent by tallying a career-high 17 sacks in the past season. Additionally, he recorded 74 tackles (21 for loss), 22 quarterback hits, 10 passes defensed, and five forced fumbles.
