Steelers são apontados como possível destino para o agente livre Mekhi Becton

O Pittsburgh Steelers foi citado como um possível destino para o veterano jogador de linha ofensiva Mekhi Becton, que permanece sem contrato após sua dispensa do Los Angeles Chargers.

Moe Moton, do Bleacher Report, identificou os Steelers como um possível interessado em Becton no início desta semana. O guard de 2,01m e 165kg foi dispensado pelos Chargers nesta intertemporada, após um contrato de dois anos assinado depois de sua passagem pelo Philadelphia Eagles. Becton foi titular em 14 dos 15 jogos pelo Los Angeles na última temporada, mas lidou com problemas no joelho, na mão e concussões. Ele obteve uma nota geral de 35,7 segundo o Pro Football Focus, após registrar uma marca de 75,3 durante a campanha dos Eagles, vencedores do Super Bowl de 2024. Os Steelers reforçaram sua linha ofensiva através do Draft e contratando um veterano familiarizado com o sistema do novo técnico Mike McCarthy. Persistem dúvidas na posição de guard direito, onde espera-se que Spencer Anderson e Brock Hoffman disputem a vaga. O extenso histórico de lesões de Becton remonta à sua época no New York Jets, embora ele tenha demonstrado que pode contribuir quando saudável como bloqueador terrestre e presença no interior da linha.
