The Las Vegas Raiders have signed nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker Khalil Mack to a two-year contract. This agreement marks Mack’s return to the franchise that originally drafted him fifth overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Mack’s initial tenure with the Raiders was marked by exceptional performance. Over four seasons, he accumulated 40.5 sacks and earned the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2016. In 2018, he was traded to the Chicago Bears in a high-profile deal that included two first-round draft picks.
After stints with the Bears and the Los Angeles Chargers, Mack became a free agent following the 2024 season. Despite contemplating retirement, he decided to continue his career, leading to his reunion with the Raiders.
Mack’s return is expected to bolster the Raiders’ defense significantly. His experience and leadership will be invaluable as the team aims to strengthen its defensive lineup. Fans are eager to see Mack don the Raiders’ jersey once again, anticipating the impact he will bring in the upcoming seasons.
