Khalil Mack: Staying with Chargers was less about finances than about winning games
Our Summary
Khalil Mack, the Chargers' outside linebacker, emphasized that securing the highest contract offer wasn't his main focus as free agency approached. Instead, Mack agreed to a one-year, $18 million deal with the Chargers, believing there's more he can achieve with the team. His decision was driven by a desire to contribute to the Chargers' success and focus on winning games, rather than just financial gain. After the Chargers' 11-6 season under Coach Jim Harbaugh, Mack is optimistic about the team's future and hopes to accomplish his goal of playing significant games and winning a Super Bowl. Despite his career achievements, Mack has yet to win a playoff game, a milestone he hopes to reach with the Chargers.
