Jets' Mekhi Becton: Not available to start OTAs
Becton (kneecap) won't practice Tuesday at OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Becton said the switch to right tackle last season caused his right knee injury, and he hopes to play exclusively at left tackle in 2023. However, head coach Robert Saleh said Duane Brown (shoulder) is still in the competition for the starting left tackle job, and that the best five offensive lineman will play, which may push Becton to the right side again. Regardless, his health is the primary concern for both parties this offseason, and there hasn't been any indication he's in danger of missing the start of the season.

Jets' Mekhi Becton: Fifth-year option not exercised
Becton (kneecap) had the fifth-year option on his rookie contract declined by the Jets on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Becton missed all of last season after injuring his kneecap during training camp, and although he's said he has lost weight and is in better shape, the Jets have opted not to keep the 2020 first-round pick under contract for the 2024 campaign. Although the 24-year-old showed potential during his rookie year, he has played in just one game since then. Becton will look to stay healthy and try to bounce back during the upcoming season.
