The Los Angeles Chargers have signed guard Mekhi Becton to a crucial two-year deal. Becton is seen as vital to improving the team's interior offensive line, which struggled mightily last season. With a poor run block win rate among their current linemen, Becton, who previously had a career resurgence with the Eagles, is expected to fortify the line significantly. His move to guard and impressive performance last season could lead to changes in the roster, including the possible release of Trey Pipkins to save on salary cap space.
Becton, who switched from tackle to guard, significantly improved the run-blocking performance for the Chargers, addressing their biggest weakness from last season.
Following a renaissance in his performance last season with the Eagles, Becton is now set to enhance the Chargers' struggling offensive line as their key free agency acquisition.
The potential release of Pipkins could free up significant cap space for the Chargers, allowing them flexibility in future roster decisions.
Becton's impact at right guard with the Eagles demonstrates his capability, finishing 24th in run block win rate â substantially better than current Chargers linemen.
