1. Los Angeles Chargers
Khalil Mack is back for another season, but don’t be shocked if this is his last season. Jim Harbaugh’s refusal to improve the defense despite losing Jesse Minter is surprising. Tuli Tuipulotu is due for a huge deal, so the Chargers should lock in on a contract while trading for McDonald if things fall apart midseason of the 2026 campaign. This defense has several pass-rushers, but none of them can top the level that the Jets edge-rusher could bring.
