Why former Jets QB Boomer Esiason is wrong about Mekhi Becton

Boomer Esiason is a beloved figure in the New York media. His morning show with Gregg Giannotti, Boomer and Gio, is a fixture on the morning commute.

So when Boomer said last week that the Jets may cut Mekhi Becton, people took notice.

“I’m thinking in training camp he could get cut,” Esiason said of Becton. This came after he expressed concern about the shape Becton was in at the Jets’ mandatory minicamp, stating that he “was waiting to see what [Becton] looks like and this ain’t good.”

Boomer was not wrong with most of his take.
