CINCINNATI — The Bengals have to beef up the interior protection around Joe Burrow this offseason and one solid option could be Mekhi Becton after his revival season in Philadelphia.

Becton notched a solid 73.5 regular-season PFF grade across 979 snaps at right guard after a 53.2 grade in 2023. He is a mountain at 6-7, 363 pounds and would instantly upgrade one of the worst right-guard spots in the league.
