Washington Signs Charles Leno Jr. To One-Year Deal
4 years agoThe Washington Football Team signed veteran offensive tackle Charles Leno Jr. to a one-year deal worth $5 million on Wednesday, according to his agent, Ron Slavin. Leno was released by the Chicago Bears earlier this month after he started 93 straight games at left tackle for the team. The 2018 Pro Bowler visited with Washington on Monday before signing his deal. Washington also traded for guard Ereck Flowers and drafted tackle Samuel Cosmi in the second round this year to bolster their offensive line. If Washington wants Cosmi to move to the right side, they could release right tackle Morgan Moses, who has started every game since 2015. Cornelius Lucas and Geron Christian combined to start 14 games at left tackle in 2020, but Leno figures to be the blind-side protector in 2021.
