The past several days have been a frenzy, as teams across the NFL have been incredibly involved in free-agent signings and trades.
Some teams have been more active than others, but this has been a whirlwind for the most part.
The Cincinnati Bengals recently lost their right tackle, Jonah Williams, to the Arizona Cardinals, leaving them to scramble to find a replacement at the position.
According to Ari Meirov, they are hosting Mekhi Becton on a visit on Thursday to determine whether he would be a good fit.

Becton was a first-round pick, as Meirov indicated, which demonstrates how highly touted he was coming into the league.
However, he has struggled with injuries throughout his four-year NFL career, which has been a concern for the Jets lately.
The Jets are looking to build the best possible offensive line around Aaron Rodgers in his first full season as their quarterback.
This could be good news for the Bengals, especially if Becton’s medicals align with what they anticipate.
Joe Burrow is also coming off an injury, and while the Bengals have played well in recent years, their offensive line play is often heavily questioned.
Losing Williams is a potentially devastating blow to the line, but with any luck, they will be able to replace him quickly, so Burrow can quickly get acclimated to his new teammates.
The 2023 season didn’t pan out as the Bengals expected, mainly due to injuries throughout their roster.
Will 2024 yield a different result?
