Report: Chargers, Lynn agree to contract extension

The Los Angeles Chargers and head coach Anthony Lynn agreed to a contract extension this past week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Lynn, who was entering the last year of his current deal in 2020, now has "multiple years" remaining on his contract. He signed the extension shortly before the Super Bowl, a source told Schefter.

The 51-year-old bench boss joined the Chargers in 2017 after spending one campaign with the Buffalo Bills, for whom he worked as an assistant head coach, running backs coach, and offensive coordinator. Lynn was also the Bills' interim head coach for one game in 2016.

Lynn has a 26-22 record after three full seasons in Los Angeles. The Chargers won 12 games in 2018 and reached the postseason, but they weren't able to repeat their successful campaign in 2019, posting their worst record since 2016 (5-11).
