NFL expert wants to see Khalil Mack leave Chargers for another AFC contender

Would the Chargers be willing to move on from one of their defensive staples?

It's no secret that the Los Angeles Chargers are in a rebuild. While it may not be considered a full rebuild, as the team already has a franchise quarterback, it can't be understated how much this team needs to be competitive week in and week out.

The Chargers picked up an impressive 26-8 victory over the New Orleans Saints in Week 8. The win moved the team to 4-3 on the season, and a postseason berth doesn't seem that far-fetched at the moment. However, would the team be willing to move a star in order to build for the future?

Bleacher Report recently published a list of moves that every team should make, and one move involves Chargers defensive stud Khalil Mack leaving Los Angeles in free agency.

"The Texans could be a popular hotspot for veterans who want to make one last run at a ring next offseason," B/R wrote. "Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. are a great pass-rushing duo, but the Texans could still add a third option to give them depth and flexibility with the defensive front. That's where Khalil Mack could come in."

The story suggests that Mack could benefit from a part-time role with a Super Bowl contender. Mack finished the Saints game with one sack, proving that he can still be a benefit to the team.

However, if there's value in letting Mack join another squad, maybe the Chargers front office should take a closer look before letting Mack walk with nothing in return.
