Mekhi Becton Accuses Jets of Mishandling Injury, Complicating Super Bowl Hopes

Mekhi Becton believes the Jets made a mistake moving him to right tackle, which led to his season-ending knee injury.
Becton has lost weight and seeks to prove himself in a contract year, but his criticism puts pressure on the Jets.
The Jets need Becton to protect Aaron Rodgers but must decide whether to play him at left tackle, where he prefers but may injure again, or right tackle, where he has expressed frustration.
Becton's best outcome is accepting right tackle to win a Super Bowl then leaving in free agency as a left tackle.
The Jets declining Becton's fifth-year option gives him incentive to show he should be a starting left tackle.
