I would think Leno would have had some trade value. No really sure what the plan is here. Gotta admit--this is a little aggressive for my taste until I see more.
I'm a bit surprised myself...but we always knew this was a possibility. Leno was a good Bear and a great find in the 7th round. Be interesting to see what the team does next.
Some options to replace him aside from Jenkins in no particular order:

I'm not sure on how post 6/1 trades work. I don't know if you'd get the immediate cap relief that the Bears need right now.

- Mitchell Schwartz
- Russel Okung
- Alejandro Villanueva
- Rick Wagner
- Dennis Kelly
- Demar Dotson
- Jason Peters
- Cam Fleming
Yeah, I think they need to sign someone. Borom isn't starting week 1 and Ifedi is a better G than T.
I guess I'm really surprised they chose to cut a 30 yo LT who has never missed a game instead of 36 yo Jimmy Graham.
Bears doing Leno a favor by letting him pick his own team in FA. He's going be out of work for about a day...day and a half. Agree that he might have brought a day 3 pick in a trade

Yeah...I guess they figure the possible replacements at LT are better than at TE...specifically what they ask Graham to do.

That's my spin anyway.....
I'm not sure the Bears save the full $9 mill if he's traded.

What's there to see? He is a combined CAP & CollabAV casualty.
