The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the best clubs in the NFL right now, logging a 9-2 record. They have won seven straight games and look like serious Super Bowl contenders.

While the focus remains on the remainder of the 2024 season, many media members have looked ahead to the 2025 offseason. Bleacher Report released an article highlighting every roster's biggest weaknesses and took a peek at the offseason.

In that piece, they listed the Jacksonville Jaguars as a potential destination for guard Mekhi Becton. The Jags need help along the offensive line and could look at poaching Becton along the trenches.

The Louisville product signed with Philadelphia in April on a one-year $2.75 million. Since coming over to the city of Brotherly Love, Becton has been stellar for the Birds. Over 584 offensive snaps in 2024, he has a 75.1 overall grade and a 77 run blocking grade. He uses his mauling power to move defenders in the run game and be a solid pass blocker.

Becton was originally a first-round pick by the New York Jets in 2020. During his tenure with the Jets, he played in 30 games, playing both left and right tackle, but struggled with consistency on the field and staying healthy. He's found a way to put everything together in Philadelphia and could be for a big payday when free agency rolls around.

Due to his 2024 performance, he may have priced himself out of Philadelphia's future plans and could land with the Jacksonville Jaguars come March.
