Eagles urged to reunite with Super Bowl champ who flopped last season

Following a disappointing first-round exit in the 2025 AFC playoffs, the Los Angeles Chargers are working to reshape their roster ahead of the 2026 season. As reported back in March, the franchise plans to release veteran guard and former Eagles’ Mekhi Becton at the beginning of the new league year.

This decision is a strategic financial move aimed at clearing $9.7 million in cap space, as the Chargers look to upgrade a unit that struggled when it mattered most.

The decision came after rumors surfaced during the Shrine Bowl, suggesting that Becton had “reverted to his former ways” following a promising revitalization of his career.

Despite his recent challenges in Los Angeles, ESPN analysts are already pointing to a familiar destination for the veteran’s next chapter, labeling the Philadelphia Eagles as his “best team fit.”

Experts suggest that a reunion makes perfect sense as a way to add depth and competition to the team.

Although Becton’s performance in L.A. was considered subpar, his 2024 season in Philadelphia tells a different story.

During that Super Bowl-winning campaign, he allowed only four sacks and achieved a solid 71.2% run block win rate.

At 6 feet 7 inches and 364 pounds, Becton still possesses the rare physical tools to overwhelm defenders when playing at his peak.

For an Eagles team looking to enhance its protection, bringing back a player who previously succeeded in their specific system could be a high-reward move.

While his disappointing season with the Chargers has raised concerns about his consistency, returning to the environment where he originally found success could be the key to reviving his career as he enters free agency.
