In 2024, Mekhi Becton experienced a career rebirth with the Philadelphia Eagles, who made a Super Bowl run that season. He played an intricate role in their top-notch offensive line that opened lanes for the No. 2 rushing offense of that year. Running back Saquon Barkley ran behind Becton and Co. for a league-leading 2,005 yards.
On a one-year, prove-it deal with the Eagles, Becton increased his free-agent market value and inked a two-year, $10 million contract with the Los Angeles Chargers last offseason.
Although Becton started in 14 of 15 outings with the Chargers, he battled knee and hand injuries that may have affected his performances. The 6’7″, 363-pound guard also suffered a concussion last year. Los Angeles released him before free agency in March.
Becton has an extensive injury history that dates back to his four-year stint with the New York Jets. Yet when healthy, the massive interior lineman can be an asset to a team that needs insurance for an underperforming starter or intends to feature a downhill ground attack in the upcoming campaign.
