ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team took care of one potential hole by signing left tackle Charles Leno to a three-year deal, according to a source. Leno would have been a free agent this offseason. The deal is worth up to $37.5 million.
Washington signed Leno to a one-year deal last spring after he was released by the Chicago Bears. Leno spent seven years with the Bears, including the last six as their starting left tackle. In Washington, Leno solidified the left side of the line with solid, consistent play. He has started every game and became a leader among the linemen.
