The Philadelphia Eagles have seen a lot of turnover along the roster just one month after winning Super Bowl 59. That's what happens when your team is stacked like the Eagles were. Teams around the league want to pluck players from your squad.
The Eagles have seen Milton Williams, Josh Sweat, Kenneth Gainwell, Isaiah Rodgers, and Darius Slay all sign elsewhere. Another player is joining that list and is on his way out of town.
Per Zach Berman of PHLY, G Mekhi Becton is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Mekhi Becton is heading to the Chargers, earning a two-year deal after a strong season with the Eagles turned around his career.

The Eagles will have their 4th starting RG in 4 years.
Tyler Steen, Kenyon Green, Trevor Keegan are the internal options. The Eagles could add in…
Mekhi Becton Will Sign With the Los Angeles Chargers
Becton signed a one-year, $2.75 million deal with the Eagles last offseason after four injury-riddled years with the New York Jets.
The Louisville product moved from OT inside to guard, allowing his play to reach new heights. According to PFF, Becton finished the regular season with a 75.2 overall grade (21st among 135 eligible guards) and a 74.7 run-blocking grade (19th among 135 eligible guards).
He excels as a run-blocker, which played a role in why he fit right in with the Eagles. Despite the fit, he agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Chargers, and Philadelphia is heading in a different direction along the interior.
As Berman highlighted, Philadelphia will have its fourth starting RG in the past four years. They currently have Tyler Steen, Kenyon Green, and Trevor Keegan on the roster as options.
Green was recently acquired when the Eagles traded safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans in a surprising move.
While Green has the most starts among Steen and Keegan, he has been underwhelming thus far in his career. Just last season, he posted an overall grade of 38.6 (131st among 135 eligible guards), a 39.7 pass-blocking grade (107th among 135 eligible guards), and a 44.6 run-blocking grade (131st among 135 eligible guards).
The Eagles clearly like the traits that he has and believe OL coach Jeff Stoutland can help unlock those abilities the same way he did with Becton.
