Washington Football Team signs LT Charles Leno to 1-year, $5 million deal, agent says

The Washington Football Team continues to strengthen its offensive line, signing veteran tackle Charles Leno Jr. on Wednesday, according to his agent Ron Slavin.

Leno signed a one-year deal worth $5 million. He started 93 consecutive games at left tackle for the Chicago Bears, who released him earlier this month after trading up in the second round to draft Oklahoma State offensive tackle Teven Jenkins. Leno, who played in the Pro Bowl in 2018, visited Washington on Monday.

Washington coach Ron Rivera has said repeatedly that he wanted to build a strong offensive line to pair with a defensive front that already is in that category.
