The Philadelphia Eagles are signing offensive tackle Mekhi Becton to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million.

Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland encouraged the signing of Becton, a former first-round pick of the New York Jets.

Becton, drafted 11th overall in 2020, had a promising rookie year before missing essentially two seasons due to injury and then enjoying a comeback campaign in 2023.
