Becton’s 2024 season with the Philadelphia Eagles is cited as a breakout, when he allowed 24 pressures in 450 pass-block snaps at right guard. That stint helped the Eagles achieve strong ground production, a factor in why Philadelphia remains interested in reuniting with him if the market affords the opportunity.
In 2025 with the Chargers, however, the performance did not meet expectations. The 37 pressures and multiple penalties contributed to growing questions about his fit as a starting guard, complicating the team’s evaluation of whether to keep him beyond the first year of his deal.
Reports about Becton’s status with the Chargers came from Tony Pauline of Essentially Sports, who noted Shrine Bowl chatter suggesting L.A. will exercise its contract out and part ways with the blocker. The chatter aligns with a broader narrative that the Chargers could pivot after a disappointing season.
Bleeding Green Nation’s Brandon Lee Gowton has suggested a Eagles reunion could be in play, given Philadelphia’s uncertain depth at guard and the likelihood of free-agent turnover at the position. He notes Becton could serve as a depth piece if he’s willing to accept a more limited role.
If Becton hits the open market, the Eagles are among the teams that could consider bringing him back, leveraging familiarity with the system and the potential to add experienced depth behind their starting guards. Any move will hinge on Becton’s willingness to accept a role and on how teams value the upside from his earlier success.
