Commanders release starting left tackle Charles Leno and tight end Logan Thomas
WASHINGTON — The roster overhaul has begun for the Washington Commanders. They released starting left tackle Charles Leno and tight end Logan Thomas on Friday, moving on from two veterans in their 30s as the new regime led by recently hired general manager Adam Peters puts its stamp on the organization. Cutting Leno and Thomas saves the Commanders nearly $13 million in salary cap space, adding to their already abundant spending possibilities. Washington has the second pick in the draft and five in the top 100 with several holes to fill, including at quarterback and replacements for Leno, Thomas and Gates. And so it’s constantly evolving and I don’t think anybody has the magic pill to understand that one.” The entire offensive line could be remade in the coming weeks and months, with Peters and new coach Dan Quinn reshaping all facets of the team.
