The Eagles braced for a potential departure of Becton, as they traded for former first-round pick Kenyon Green in a deal that sent safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans. Philadelphia sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to Houston in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick in the deal.

Late Friday night, the Chargers announced that veteran offensive lineman Mekhi Becton signed a contract with the team.

After a breakout season, Mekhi Becton has yet another new team. The ex-Jets bust, who enjoyed a career renaissance with the Eagles last year, is signing a two-year deal worth $20 million with the Chargers, according to NFL Network.
