Bears release Charles Leno.

Leno Released

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

Wasn’t very good last couple years but you got 7 years out of a 7th round pick. Excited to see what Jenkins can do at LT next year

 

[redmen85]

I didn’t realize he started 93 games
7th rounder—not bad

 

[mchsalumni]

No issues with him as a person or as a 7th rounder doing much more than many expected. Hope he lands somewhere where they don't need to run the football!

 

[Wassup13]

Is he going back to be a late night talk show host?

 

[LTHSALUM76]

Someone will sign Leno. You can bank on it.

Leno got a lot of flack but he was a swing guy they tried to make a starting LT.

Might have fared better on the right side. LT is not for all.

I take my hat off to Leno lasting seven seasons playing Left Tackle in the National Football League.

He'll end up taking a pay cut signing a 1 - 2 deal with another club but serviceable and could move to Left Guard!

My problem was the fact he took too many dumb penalties. Was caught holding lots of times. But, some articles I read at the end of last season said he actually had a better year than the year before. I don't know what his numbers were. But, I do remember those articles.

He will never be a great lineman but he is a hard worker and resilient. You have to respect his effort.

Leno signed with The Washington Redskins (sue me) one year $5 million. Not a bad gig ànd most could retire after only one year on that ca$h!
