The Los Angeles Chargers are cutting ties with former New York Jets first-round pick Mekhi Becton, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Becton was entering the second year of a two-year $20 million deal he signed with the Chargers just last offseason.
After his disappointing Jets tenure, Becton signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, moving from tackle to guard. He flourished and helped the Eagles win their second Super Bowl as a key member of the offensive front. The former Louisville product earned himself a payday and received it from Los Angeles in free agency last March.
