Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard and Super Bowl champion Mekhi Becton is headed to the Chargers on a 2-year, $20 million FA contract. The post Former First Round Pick Leaves Eagles for $20 Million Contract in AFC West appeared first on Heavy Sports.

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.

Mekhi Becton - the team's starting right guard last season - signed a new two-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. Ian Rappaport of NFL Network stated the deal is worth close to $20 million. That compensation is expected to give the Eagles a fifth-round compensatory pick in the 2026 Draft.

Philadelphia did most of its heavy-lifting last week, signing Saquon Barkley to a historic contract extension and re-signing All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun. While Baun is back, the Birds are expected to lose some of their free agents.

The biggest holes on the roster are significant: right guard and edge rusher. It’d be cool if they nabbed a free agent at those spots, so they didn’t have to rely on the draft. Aside from Jalen Carter, it takes a year or two for defensive linemen to be effective, and it’d be cool if an offensive lineman had a year to develop before he had to play.

Both Dillon and Uche have signed extremely cheap deals for players under 30 years old. There's a good reason for that. Dillon hasn't played in a full season and Uche was a healthy scratch for the Chiefs after trading for him this past season.
