Chargers Coach Jim Harbaugh Defends Khalil Mack Amid Trade Rumors

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh firmly stated he wants star defensive lineman Khalil Mack on the roster, dismissing early reports that a trade might occur before next week's deadline. While General Manager Joe Hortiz and Assistant GM Chad Alexander may be considering moves to improve their team, Harbaugh emphasized his focus is preparing for this weekend's game against the Houston Texans rather than speculating about trades involving Mack or other players.

Former Chargers player Breiden Fehoko seemingly confirmed on social media that Mack will likely be traded before the November 10 deadline. Although no official destination was named by sources, fans and analysts have linked Mack to potential suitors like the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, and Kansas City Chiefs based on roster needs.

Mack signed a one-year deal worth $18 million this offseason but has seen his sack numbers decline significantly compared to previous seasons. The Chargers remain winless at zero-7 in their record since Harbaugh's arrival.
