He's there for the install. That's it unless we need to sign another backup during the season.

Mekhi Becton (T) is still out there in Free Agency land.

He would address a need at tackle.

Saints have done ok with acquiring former Jets in FA.

He's going to come with a heavy price tag. Probably why he's still sitting there.

In an historic draft for OT, I'm not sure it's just about the money.

Becton had 18 penalties and gave up 12 sacks last year. Crazy numbers. 😂

Hence the Jets basically kicking him to the curb. Talk about a bust.

Give me a young stud on a rookie contract.....better yet, give me two!

We have to get younger and cheaper and the draft is the way to do that.

Probably because he was forced to play musical chairs (right side) in 2023.
He was a dominant left tackle pre injury. His natural position :

This is why I think it’s ridiculous that some want Penning to try the right side.
