El SEGUNDO, Calif -- Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack, who mulled retirement and considered other teams as a free agent in the offseason, said Wednesday that re-signing with the team was a "no-brainer."

"Why not here, man?" Mack said speaking after Chargers minicamp on Wednesday.

While Mack, 34, said the decision to stay in L.A. was easy, he admittingly looked at other options. Ultimately, the decision to return to the Chargers made the most sense beyond just the money, he said.

"I had to be fair in the approach to things and not making it about just finances and all the different things," said Mack, who signed a one-year $18 million fully guaranteed contract.
