Not much is missing from Khalil Mack's résumé when it comes to individual accomplishments.
Postseason success has eluded the former AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, however.
Mack felt the sting of a fifth playoff loss in as many appearances on Saturday in the Los Angeles Chargers' 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans, and that might well be his last crack at postseason success.
Mack, who is set to be a free agent for the first time in his career, said Sunday that he's contemplating retirement.
"Man, it's a lot of different thoughts in my head right now," he said, via ESPN’s Kris Rhim. "I can't really speak on a definitive decision in terms of what I'm going to do because I don't know if I'm going to play football moving forward, so there's some things I got to talk through with my wife, spend some time with my kids and try not to make a rash decision after a loss."
Mack's résumé is a rather remarkable one, as he boasts nine Pro Bowl selections in 11 seasons. He's a three-time All-Pro, a member of the Hall of Fame's All-2010s team and won his aforementioned DPOY accolade in 2016.
He's posted 107.5 career sacks, having tallied double-digit single-season tallies with each of the three teams he's played for: the Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears and Chargers.
Unfortunately for the 33-year-old, he's been to the postseason with all three clubs, as well, but come up short of a playoff win each time.
Mack had two sacks and six tackles during the Bolts' loss on Saturday.
He took a pay cut last offseason to remain with the Chargers and believes there is a bright future ahead for the franchise. He's just not sure he'll be part of it when it comes to fruition.
"As long as Justin Herbert is your quarterback. You got Derwin James and all these guys that love the game of football. And Jim Harbaugh coaching?" Mack said. "You know you always have a chance to win. Yeah, that's a no-brainer."
Fresh off a playoff loss is hardly an ideal time to make pronouncements on what's ahead.
Mack didn't, but as the offseason unfolds, the future of one of the finest pass rushers over the last decade is now uncertain.
