Titans Aim to Bolster Their Offensive Line
The Tennessee Titans are actively seeking free agency targets to strengthen their offensive line following a challenging season. Despite significant moves—selecting JC Latham with the No. 7 overall pick and signing Lloyd Cushenberry III as their starting center—the right side of the line underperformed, contributing to one of the league’s least effective offenses.
Spotlight on Mekhi Becton
One name attracting attention is Mekhi Becton. A CBS Sports writer noted, “It’s very possible Becton benefited from the Eagles’ all-world front, but he’s now logged meaningful reps at both guard and tackle. His size could help restore Tennessee’s line.” Drafted 11th overall by the New York Jets in 2020, Becton’s early career was marred by injuries, limiting him to a single appearance over two seasons. His recent tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, however, saw a repositioning from tackle to guard—an adjustment that not only provided more stability in his play but also made him a key contributor on a Super Bowl-winning offensive line.
Addressing a Pressing Need
With right guard Dillon Radunz now a free agent, the Titans face a crucial decision: re-sign him or identify a worthy replacement. As the team evaluates its options, the potential acquisition of Becton stands out. If he can replicate his success from Philadelphia, his versatility and physical prowess may offer the upgrade the Titans desperately need on that side of the line. This reinforcement could be pivotal in restoring the offensive power that has eluded them in recent matchups.
