Mekhi Becton Joins Chargers on Two-Year Deal to Strengthen Offensive Line
The former Eagles right guard aims to bolster Los Angeles' struggling interior line after a career resurgence in Philadelphia.
- Mekhi Becton signed a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers following a successful one-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Becton transitioned from tackle to guard last season, starting 15 games and contributing to the Eagles' Super Bowl-winning offensive line.
- The Chargers struggled with interior offensive line performance last season, ranking poorly in run block win rate, which the team aims to address with Becton's addition.
- Becton's move to Los Angeles could lead to the release of current right guard Trey Pipkins, potentially saving the Chargers $6.75 million in cap space.
- The 25-year-old has overcome significant injury setbacks earlier in his career and is expected to play guard alongside standout tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt.
