Seahawks identified as ideal fit for free agent Mekhi Becton

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks have been named the best fit for free agent offensive guard Mekhi Becton, according to NFL.com's Grant Gordon. As the NFL heads into training camp, the Seahawks are viewed as having a complete roster but may benefit from Becton's experience. Currently unsigned, Becton stands at 6-foot-7 and weighs 363 pounds. He began his NFL career as a left tackle with the New York Jets, was selected No. 11 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, and has since transitioned to guard. He has 59 starts in his six-year career, with 29 at guard, and could provide valuable support at right guard for the Seahawks.
