Mekhi Becton wasn't the only starter on the Philadelphia Eagles to leave the organization in free agency.
He's the one that one former legend of the organization isn't happy to see go, though.
Former All-Pro linebacker Seth Joyner tweeted his thoughts on Becton signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers known - especially with so many losses the team has already worked through.
"Good luck to Mekhi Becton," Joyner said. "We all have a ton of confidence in Jeff Stoutland and his mastery at developing OLinmen! This is one I did not want to see getaway! I know they got (Tyler Steen) and traded for (Kenyon Green). But I've got concerns with both! I hope I'm wrong and there's a lot to be done by September 4th! I understand (money-wise) why, but I really loved the #5trenchmen from last year! Go Birds."
Becton signed a one-year deal and moved to guard with the Eagles after a four-year run with the New York Jets. He became a key player in Philadelphia's offensive line that was one of the most dominant in league history.
Philadelphia acquired Green as part of the deal that sent Chauncey Gardner-Johnson days earlier, so there is something of a succession plan ready for the Eagles.
But at the end of the day, even Joyner's concerns may be overstated.
For as long as the Eagles have Jeff Stoutland running their offense for the time being, the organization should feel confident that they'll figure things out at the end of the day.
It's the mindset that brought Becton to Philly.
And that mindset has worked perfectly for the organization since.
