Will Mekhi Becton ever play another down with the New York Jets?
Amidst all the reports that Becton’s weight is down to 340 pounds, voices on the Jets beat keep whispering that the tackle may not be long for the team. Rich Cimini speculated that the Jets could trade Becton before the final roster cutdown. Brian Costello added that he thinks Billy Turner will be the team’s starting right tackle.
So far, the early indications in training camp seem to concur with Costello. With Duane Brown on the PUP list in his recovery from shoulder surgery, Turner and Becton have been rotating at left tackle.
