We are over a week into May and former NFL MVP Cam Newton still does not have a team. Since he became a free agent in March, the LA Chargers have been viewed as a potential fit for Newton.
Nothing happened. Tom Telesco and the front office prioritized in bringing in various free agents to fill holes and that is exactly what they did. The team drafted quarterback Justin Herbert with the sixth overall pick, giving the team its quarterback of the future.
If the Chargers did not draft a quarterback then Newton would have become more likely.
