Becton and the Eagles have agreed on a one-year, $5.5 million contract, pending a physical Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Becton appears to be set to join the Eagles after starting 16 games with the Jets in 2023. The offensive tackle has dealt with multiple significant lower-body injuries in his four-year NFL career, limiting his time on the field, and he'll look to carve out a consistent role with Philadelphia.
Becton is set to meet with the Bengals on Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Becton was finally healthy in 2023, starting 16 games on the Jets' offensive line. The offensive tackle will now look to latch on with Cincinnati, who just lost Jonah Williams to the Cardinals on Wednesday.
After being limited to just one appearance over the previous two seasons by knee injuries, Becton started New York's first 10 games of 2023, but an ankle sprain suffered in Week 11 against the Bills will lead to the left tackle's first absence of the season. Duane Brown (hip) -- who was activated from injured reserve Thursday -- will protect the blindside of new starting quarterback Tim Boyle on Friday.
Becton has been unable to practice this week, but he has yet to be ruled out for Friday's game against the Dolphins and should be considered questionable for the matchup.
Becton went down with a lower-leg injury on the Jets' second possession of the game and he is considered questionable to return. In the meantime, Carter Warren has entered the contest at left tackle.
