Khalil Mack is 35 years old, still playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, and has three sacks through four games. The Chargers, meanwhile, are 0-4 and facing the possibility of a lost season before Halloween.

That combination has made Mack a legitimate name to watch on the trade market over the next few weeks.
