Essentially Sports' Tony Pauline reported the Philadelphia Eagles are not interested in bringing back guard Mekhi Becton.
Offensive lineman Mekhi Becton rectified his career while playing one season with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. Becton could turn to the team to save his career again if the Los Angeles Chargers release him this offseason, which pundits expect to happen.
But the Eagles don’t appear to be on board with a Becton reunion.
That’s what Essentially Sports’ Tony Pauline reported Wednesday at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.
Pauline wrote the Eagles see warning signs around the veteran lineman. One of the biggest is the fact he has changed representation since leaving the Eagles.
“During Shrine Bowl week, I was told that Becton has returned to many of his former ways, including firing the agency that helped get his game back on track, and that has raised red flags with the Philadelphia Eagles,” Pauline wrote. “The Eagles were surprised (if not shocked) and disappointed by the turn of events.
“The fact that the Eagles parted ways with offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland also has people here at the combine believing a potential reunion between Becton and Philadelphia is a reach at this point.”
In Becton’s lone season with the Eagles, he started 15 games at right guard. That was his first NFL season primarily playing guard instead of tackle.
Becton helped pave the way for running back Saquon Barkley’s historic 2,000-yard rushing season. The Eagles also capped off the 2024 campaign with a dominating Super Bowl victory.
