Eagles Strengthen Offensive Line with Becton Signing and Draft Picks Amid Injury Concerns

The Eagles bolstered their offensive line this weekend by drafting two new linemen and signing former Jets tackle Mekhi Becton to a one-year contract. Becton’s agents, Alan Herman and Jared Fox, announced that the deal is worth up to $5.5 million for the 2020 first-round pick.

In Philadelphia, Becton will join Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata as part of the team’s tackle rotation. Becton is expected to take on a swing tackle role once he passes his physical and officially signs with the Eagles in the NFC East.

Despite having a promising rookie season with the Jets, Becton’s playing time was limited in the following two seasons due to knee injuries. The Jets ultimately decided not to pick up his 2025 option and did not pursue re-signing him after he started 16 games in the 2023 season.
