Analysts Link Eagles to Mekhi Becton Reunion After Chargers Plan Release

A short, prove-it deal could shore up thin depth without a big commitment.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Matt Bowen named Philadelphia as an ideal landing spot for free agent guard Mekhi Becton.
  • The Chargers plan to release Becton to free about $9.7 million in cap space, according to recent reports.
  • Becton thrived with the Eagles in 2024, allowing four sacks with a 71.2% success rate on run blocks during their Super Bowl run.
  • After a down year in Los Angeles that drew “subpar” reviews, projections point to a short prove-it contract near Spotrac’s $13.5 million estimate.
  • The Eagles lack proven backups behind a strong starting line, making a reunion logical to analysts, though no team interest has been confirmed.
