It sure sounds like missing Eagles offensive lineman wishes he never left Philly

After some troubling years with the New York Jets, the Philadelphia Eagles took a chance on banged-up offensive lineman Mekhi Becton.

The Eagles moved Becton from his usual left tackle position and made him the starting right guard for the season. That move paid off as he started 15 games and performed well, helping Philly win their second Super Bowl in franchise history.

Becton got paid in the offseason for his play, but it was the Los Angeles Chargers who gave him a two-year, $20 million contract to be the team's starting right guard. While this was viewed as a great move, it is now seen as a mistake, including by Becton himself.
