Did some reading on him and all kinds of shit about his lack of effort and getting in shape. We have been down this road before. Hard pass
Was just posting this:
After a solid rookie season in which he started 13 games at left tackle, Becton endured back-to-back seasons that were wiped out due to injury. In the 2021 season opener against the Panthers, Becton suffered
a right knee injury and missed the rest of the year following a surgical procedure. During his time away because of injury,
Becton’s weight climbed to 400 pounds and the Jets expressed concern.
“I had a feeling I would be in this spot because I deserve to be in this spot,” Becton said after the NFC Championship
via NJ.com. “I worked too hard.
I knew I wouldn’t stay with the Jets for my whole career.”
Becton had his moments at his natural position, but he was not consistent enough. He committed 12 penalties [second most in the NFL] and allowed 12.5 sacks, according to Next Gen Stats.
The Jets are often a low-hanging punching bag because of their futility, but it is difficult to criticize them for letting Becton walk. He played 30 games in four seasons for the Jets. In addition to his injuries,
Becton also appeared to lack motivation and criticized fans on social media.
