Hat tip to NapaNinerFan2 in this morning’s Golden Nuggets for pulling this Coach Yac tweet. Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport are reporting the Chargers are telling teams they don’t want to trade Khalil Mack. That and some other nuggets are included in the article linked below.
I imagine the Chargers would move Mack for the right offer, but if they really are committed to not dealing him, it strikes me as pretty stupid. They’re 0-7 and all but certain to miss the playoffs. Mack is only signed through this season and is currently 35 years old. I suppose they might extend him, but it seems likely they’ll just get a comp pick if he signs elsewhere this offseason.
The 49ers don’t absolutely need an edge rusher, but some additional depth would help. I’d love to see Mack come over in a situational role, but it seems unlikely to happen. If the Chargers don’t trade Mack, I’ll enjoy watching their losses pile up.
