The Los Angeles Chargers intend to release guard Mekhi Becton in a cost-cutting move, ESPN reported on Wednesday.
The Chargers would clear $9.7 million in salary cap room by cutting Becton.
Signed to a two-year, $20 million contract last March, Becton battled both injuries and admitted frustration in his first season with Los Angeles. The Chargers also need to replace center Bradley Bozeman, who announced his retirement on Feb. 23.
Becton, 26, appeared in 15 games (14 starts) last season with Los Angeles.
He has started 59 of the 61 career games in which he has played with the Jets (2020-21; 2023), Philadelphia Eagles (2024) and Chargers since being selected by New York with the 11th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was part of a Super Bowl-winning team during his lone season with the Eagles.
