Harbaugh Says Mack Wants to Stay as Winless Chargers Resist a Sell-Off

Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh has pushed back against sell-off talk around Khalil Mack, saying the veteran edge rusher wants to stay in Los Angeles despite the team's winless 0-7 start. "I want Khalil Mack to be here and Khalil Mack wants to be here," Harbaugh said, a clear signal with a week to go until the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET on November 10. Mack, on an expiring deal, had been linked with a potential reunion with the Chicago Bears, where he previously starred, and the Bears are widely reported to still be looking for edge help after their blockbuster move for Jeffery Simmons. But Harbaugh's stance complicates any deal, even for a Chargers side with little left to play for this season. Elsewhere in Tuesday's deadline chatter, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones tempered expectations of further Dallas moves, while the Jets have already rebuffed interest in Garrett Wilson. For the Chargers, the message is that not every veteran is available — even at 0-7, Mack is one they intend to keep.
