It wasn\u2019t Steen\u2019s play that hindered the Eagles offense, but that didn\u2019t keep fans hoping for a reunion with Mekhi Becton. Despite his upcoming availability, the team isn\u2019t considering bringing him back, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/nfl-active-news-sources-mekhi-becton-questionable-for-philly-jets-leave-no-stone-unturned-for-a-safety-defense-to-dominate-early-draft\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWhile Eagles fans hoped the team would scoop up Becton, I\u2019m told the interest isn\u2019t mutual from the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Pauline went on to explain that Becton had a considerable drop off in production in 2025 with the Chargers, and while dealing with the inevitably of being cut just one year into his deal with Los Angeles, Becton has proceeded to fire his agency who helped his career resurgence in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cDuring Shrine Bowl week, I was told that Becton has returned to many of his former ways, including firing the agency that helped get his game back on track, and that has raised red flags with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were surprised (if not shocked) and disappointed by the turn of events.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles also don\u2019t have Jeff Stoutland on staff anymore, and the OL coach was a big reason for Becton\u2019s elevated play in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So, all-in-all, Roseman has set the expectation that free agency wouldn\u2019t likely include big splashes, and not bringing Becton back tracks with their approach to this year\u2019s offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Philadelphia\u2019s offensive line was hit hard by injuries last season, and with many struggles in the run game,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":777943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,6,242,109,5406,24295,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-777942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-eagles","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","13":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","14":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-free-agency","15":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116138005296628353","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/777942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/777943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=777942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=777942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
