can't wait to hear how guys are flying around in shorts and helmets lol

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Does anyone see any of our veterans boycotting voluntary workouts as the NFLPA wants? Honestly I cannot think of a guy on the roster who would, Rons competitive culture is taking hold and the types of guys we have want to work to get better, any thoughts

Look, I am not saying anything but I heard Chase Young was ticked because Shaka Toney might take his spot [COLOR="White"]as Jeopardy Host[/COLOR]

With the limbo that Juwan James finds himself, getting hurt while working out off site, probably costing him his $10 million dollar salary next year ... I would suspect that all franchises see an uptick in veterans working out on site. No matter what their union says they should do.

But I also think that the culture Ron is establishing will lead to more of this than less. Chase Young took first round pick Jamin Davis to dinner soon after he was drafted. Building team chemistry will go a long way to building the team we want. That kind of thing is impossible to quantify, but undeniably valuable to the most successful teams.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team hosted former Bears veteran left tackle Charles Leno Jr. on Monday.

READ MORE: Former Bears Tackle Leno Coming to Visit

That interest did not immediately mean a contract for Leno, who started every game over the last five years for Chicago on the blind side of the offensive line.

But if Leno does decide to join Washington, he would likely be replacing veteran incumbent Cornelius Lucas, who was his former teammate with the Bears until Lucas joined Washington last offseason.

In Chicago, Lucas was the backup/swing tackle and arrived in Washington with very little playing experience on the left side. He was pressed into that role because Geron Christian struggled and then was injured.

Leno is viewed by most as the automatic starter on the left side (if he signs) and that perception didn't sit kindly with Lucas on Twitter.

-------------

Leno is the 3rd best FA available per PFF .. I honestly never heard of the guy. Surprised to read hes started at LT for da bears for past 5 years.

Leno (29 yrs old) had a 74.6 pff grade last year (58.6 pff for 2019), Lucas had a 78.2 in a smaller but still decent enough sample size.

I was somewhat confused by the Sharpe resigning bc I thought he looked awful when given the chance last year.

Carry 9 OL

Leno, Cosmi, Sharpe
Flowers, Schweitzer, Charles
Roullier, ismael
Scherff, Schweitzer, Martin
Moses, Lucas

^^ Thats 12 right there for 9 spots on the 53.

Seems we have a self-inflicted roster issue. We signed serviceable but JAG vets like Lucas, Schweitzer, Flowers .. but also drafted depth project guys in Martin, Charles

I guess you let guys battle it out but Id guess we end up cutting Sharpe, martin and Lucas ... but I like that Lucas can swing and Leno is just a LT

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

FWIW Leno went to the pro bowl a couple of years ago. Martin looks like he is toast but may have PS eligibility, same for Sharpe if Leno is signed. Are last years 55 man roster limits still in effect or are we back down to 53 this year?

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I keep hearing [B]Leno[/B], and all think is that this is the player. LOL

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

I've heard of Leno, he was one of the better tackles in the league a few years ago, had a rough 2020.

Bears drafted Teven Jenkins...who I would have loved to get here, so he became expendable. He's durable, only missed 3 games in the last 5 years. We need that.

Having solid depth on the OL and DL is going to be critical in these longer seasons. The better you can rotate the DL, and the deeper your OL is will be huge in weeks 16-18 and, if we make it, the playoffs.

Lucas exceeded everyone's expectations last year, and we drafted Cosmi so I don't see the significant need in signing Leno. If we sign him then great, if not it's no big deal.

Highlight reel for Curl, so fun to watch his read and react ability, and how our front four just manhandled so many lines. I can really see a fast athletic LB doing a lot of damage behind them. [emoji95][emoji95][emoji95]

Daniel Jones must have nightmares about Curl.
