“We’re thrilled to have Khalil on board,” said Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst. “He’s an elite player who brings a level of intensity and passion to the field that’s unmatched. We’re excited to see what he can do in a Packers uniform.”
Mack, who has spent the past four seasons with the Chargers, was reportedly drawn to the Packers by the team’s rich history and commitment to winning.
“I’m honored to be joining the Packers organization,” said Mack. “I’m excited to be a part of a team with such a rich tradition of excellence, and I’m looking forward to helping bring another championship to the city of Green Bay.”
The deal, which was finalized after weeks of negotiations, includes a guaranteed $100 million signing bonus and an average annual salary of $25 million. It’s a significant investment for the Packers, but one that they believe will pay dividends in the long run.
“Khalil is a game-changer,” said Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur. “He’s a player who can take over a game on defense, and we’re excited to have him as part of our team. We believe he’s the missing piece to our puzzle, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do.”
With Mack on board, the Packers are expected to be major contenders in the NFC North. Their defense, which was already strong, has been significantly bolstered by the addition of one of the league’s best players.
As for Mack, he’s excited to start his new chapter in Green Bay. He’s already begun working with his new teammates, and is looking forward to making his debut in a Packers uniform.
“It’s a new chapter in my career, and I’m excited to see what the future holds,” said Mack. “I’m looking forward to helping the Packers bring another championship to the city of Green Bay.”
