The Chicago Bears' loss has been the Washington Football Team's gain. And it's been a lucrative gain for left tackle Charles Leno Jr..

Leno, released by the Bears in May, has been excellent since joining Washington and is being rewarded with a three-year, $37.5 million contract extension, СÀ¶ÊÓƵNetwork Insider Ian Rapoport and СÀ¶ÊÓƵNetwork's Mike Garafolo reported Wednesday night.

A starter for the Bears for six seasons, Leno, 30, has started all 16 games so far with Washington.

Leno boasts a 79.9 grade from Pro Football Focus, which is 18th among СÀ¶ÊÓƵtackles.
