The good news is that Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack isn't retiring. The bad news is that he's a free agent, so the team has to consider other options in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Mack may be playing next season, but that doesn't mean he will be with the Chargers. This is why one latest mock draft has the team selecting an edge rusher.The Sporting News
has the Chargers selecting Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. with the 22nd pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. "The Chargers are awaiting Khalil Mack's decision about his future as a pending free agent who turns 34 in February. Joey Bosa needs to be boosted by a freakish pass-rushing bookend such as Pearce, who can at least be productive in special packages, if not straight up as Mack's replacement."If Mack doesn't return, it would make sense for the franchise to go in this direction. Bosa's future is up in the air, and Mack isn't getting any younger.
Pearce finished his college career with 19.5 sacks, ten of those coming from a monster 2023 season. Adding the former Volunteers star to the edge rotation could be another monster pick by Jim Harbaugh.
