SAN DIEGO (AP) -Offensive lineman Scott Mruczkowski signed a three-year contract Wednesday to remain with the San Diego Chargers.

Mruczkowski, who could've become a restricted free agent, was a seventh-round draft pick in 2005. He's played in 29 games, including all 16 in 2007. He's made one start, at left guard.

``After being around guys like Nick Hardwick, Mike Goff, Kris Dielman, Marcus McNeill and the rest of my teammates, I didn't want to go anywhere else to play,'' Mruczkowski said in a statement. ``We've got a great group of guys here and a great team. For me, it didn't make any sense to go somewhere else.''
