Leno has started on the Bears’ offensive line for the past seven seasons, and he’s missed just three games since the start of 2015. That said, he will be looking for a new home in 2021. The Bears made a bit of a surprise decision in releasing him, but the team will save approximately $9M in cap space.

The Bears also attacked the offensive line during the draft. They drafted Teven Jenkins in the second round, and he graded out well according to Pro Football Focus in his final season at Oklahoma State. He was one of the best run blockers in the class, and he also fared well on a small sample size of pass blocking plays.
