The Eagles made some significant moves for their offensive line this weekend, drafting a pair of linemen and signing former Jets tackle Mekhi Becton to a one-year contract. With Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata already on hand at tackle, Becton is expected to take on a swing tackle role once he passes a physical and officially signs with the NFC East club.
Becton had a promising rookie season with the Jets but struggled with knee injuries that limited him to only one game over the next two seasons. Despite this, he was still highly regarded by many experts as a potential star in the league. However, due to his injuries, the Jets opted not to pick up his 2025 option and did not make a move to re-sign him after he started 16 games in the 2023 season.
Now, Becton will have a fresh start with the Eagles and the opportunity to showcase his talents on a new team. He will be looking forward to getting back into action and proving his worth on the field once again. The Eagles are excited about having him join their team and believe that he has great potential to become one of their top offensive linemen in the future.
