I didn't see this coming. Not a bad deal for a starting LT.

But he must be playing better than my eyes are seeing.

Edit: Leno boasts a 79.9 grade from Pro Football Focus, which is 18th among NFL tackles.

PFF isn't the end all/be all. But definitely playing better than what I thought.

Only 30, LTs can play into their 30's.

Looks like a solid deal.

Solid value…good player

They are talking resigning McKissick and McCain. I would pass on my McCain, he's got a big mouth and sucks ass.

McCain is meh…JD, Sims, and Carter should be more priorities to be resigned

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

McKissic is a boss.

I really hope they can extend/re-sign him.

He is a HUGE part of out offense being successful.

And he seems like everything you want in a teammate.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

He’s a good Tackle And those are hard to find

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Glad to see them get that done.

[B]Charles Leno Jr.[/B]
Tim Settle
JD McKissic
Cam Sims
Deandre Carter

That would be a nice start to the offseason.

Lucas was a good signing. But he looks to be slipping now. I'd let him go and sign a younger/similar player.

Lucas is an ideal swing tackle…shouldn’t be hard to get done. I’m down for Settle, but how much gonna cost? I think he’s gonna want to test the market.

You're right. I meant Leno - fixed it.

Sign Settle, trade Payne. Love Settle, if given more of a role I think he would be better than Payne.

Settle is a starter in this league. I would absolutely love to keep him, but I agree, he's gonna (and should) test the market.

We need to find a way to keep Settle or Ioaniddis. Hopefully they can figure out how to keep 1 of them.

18 would be right in the middle right? So he is average.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Technically, there's 64 starting tackles. If he's #18 out of 64 then he's graded out in the top 30% which appears to be how he will be paid. Current salary would rank 16th out of all LTs and 23rd out of all tackles.

Seems fair for both sides.

It said among NFL tackles, so I'm assuming that would include left and right tackles.

If that's correct, he is above average. And it's a very reasonable deal.

You almost owed me a Coke. Beat me by 1 minute.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Top of the market for LT is $23m/yr, Leno is getting $12.5m/yr which in all likelihood will be a 2022 cap hit of about $6.5m with an option to release him later in yr 2/3 if they want to. Sounds like a good deal for a starting LT.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Decent deal but I'm not a big fan. He's been playing decent but I still think he's slow and it shows at time.
Now, if our OL was healthy (or just normally injury hit instead of depleted) we would be fine with him.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Good move, he's been a pleasant surprise here. Just looked up his bio didn't realize he was a 7th round pick back in 2014. Makes his story even more impressive.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

He played well enough to earn that contract. Does he get beat sometimes? Yeah. That's why he's not getting paid in the top 10-20%. The good thing is there's no reason for the team to have to start over at LT or RT, and they can focus their energy on solidifying that interior.

He was one of many nice offseason additions last year.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Wouldn’t mind seeing Eric Flowers extended. He has 10 million cap hit next year in the last year of deal with a 0 zero cap penalty if we cut him…gives us some leverage.

Maybe do a 3 year deal extension making it a four year deal…give him some guaranteed and knock down next year cap number as well as giving us a similar out on year 4.

Decent is what Id call him. A C+ player. He can be beat with speed to the outside but does a good job of standing in people's way, not taking penalties. Pass pro > run.

I imagine we can get out after year 2 with little dead cap.

My only worry is that we saw him playing at near his best this season and may not be what we get next year.

Snap count -- im starting to think teams have figured out our snap count and the edge guys are just firing off the ball, especially the cowboys game 2.

Some plays the edge guy is half past Leno or Cosmi before they are even having a chance to get out of their stance.

If we can do better at changing it up, different cadances that would help the tackles.

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

Im happy with the signing, we dont have to worry about LT this off season and probably are only contractually committed for 2 years vs 4 or 5.

Re: LT Leno signs 3 year extension
 

Yeah Leno isn't top 5 tackle but he is no slouch, and allowing Leno go will create another hole for us to fill in the offseason. Also, the contract is very reasonable. Great move on the front office's end.

On another note, I noticed WFT has been better with creating reasonable contracts for our players ever since Rivera became head coach.
