The Washington Football Team and Charles Leno agreed to a three-year contract extension on Wednesday night. Mike Garafalo of NFL network reported that it was a $37.5 million extension – making Leno the twelfth highest paid tackle in the league.

The Washington football team made two minor roster moves yesterday, signing veteran defensive tackle Gabe Wright and interior offensive lineman Najee Toran. Both were signed just before mini camp began.
Wright has played in 15 career games since entering the NFL in 2015. He was a fourth round pick of Detroit, but he has also spent time in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Miami, Oakland and Jacksonville. He also played in the XFL before it folded.
Washington has reportedly dumped seven-year Washington veteran Morgan Moses. Moses was given permission to seek a trade this week, but having found no suitors, will officially be released.
Moses started 97 games for the WFT, after originally being drafted in the third round out of Virginia in 2014. He wasn’t always dependable, but he grew to be dependable. Moses had arguably his best season at right tackle in 2020.
It’s the time of the football season where rosters are full to their 90-man capacity. Often an addition means a subtraction. Today Washington announced that they had signed linebacker Joe Walker, and released linebacker Josh-Harvey Clemons.
Washington General Manager Martin Mayhew is familiar with Walker, as both were with the San Francisco 49ers in 2020. The fifth year linebacker out of Oregon played special teams and saw action in twelve games.
