The Los Angeles Chargers took a "look" into bringing in Cam Newton this offseason, but coach Anthony Lynn revealed the team passed on the 2015 MVP because he's confident in the quarterbacks already on their roster.

"Cam is a tremendous quarterback," Lynn said in an interview with CBS Sports Radio's Zach Gelb. "He's been MVP of this league; he's led his team to the Super Bowl and he's healthy now from what I hear. Cam is going to be on somebody's roster, and he's going to help somebody win a few games, but yeah, we did take a look at that, sure.
