Overview
- NFL insider Tony Pauline reported from the East-West Shrine Bowl that Los Angeles is expected to opt out of the final year of Becton's two-year, $20 million contract.
- The 26-year-old started 15 games in 2025, was benched at one point, and finished near the bottom of Pro Football Focus guard rankings.
- A release would free roughly $9.7 million in cap space and leave about $2.5 million in dead money, according to multiple reports.
- Coverage highlighted weak blocking metrics, including poor pass- and run-block win rates, and Becton said he felt uncomfortable in Greg Roman’s system.
- Analysts pointed to Philadelphia as a potential depth fit given his 2024 stint there, though no team has announced any move.
