Chargers' Khalil Mack: Vintage season in Los Angeles

Mack compiled 74 tackles (57 solo), 17 sacks, 10 passes defensed and five forced fumbles over 17 games with the Chargers in 2023.

Despite losing pass-rushing partner Joey Bosa (foot) for nearly half of the season, Mack put together arguably the best campaign of his entire career, and one that probably should have elicited some All-Pro consideration. The veteran's 17 sacks surpassed his previous career high set back in 2015, and that massive figure came off the heels of a four-year stretch where Mack combined to take down the quarterback just 31.5 times. The eye-popping sack total is a bit of a mirage considering the 32-year-old had five games with multiple sacks -- including six against the Raiders in Week 4 -- and nine without one, but it's clear he's still one of the top pass rushers in the league, despite his advanced age. In 2024, Mack will be entering the final season of his six-year extension at an untenable $38 million cap hit, and with the Chargers facing a difficult cap situation, it's possible the team could move on from him this offseason in a cost-cutting measure.
