The Los Angeles Chargers have a new starting guard. Late Friday night, the Chargers agreed to terms with free agent Mekhi Becton, upgrading one of the team’s biggest needs in front of quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Los Angeles Chargers closed out their first season under head coach Jim Harbaugh with an 11-6 record, but their playoff run was short-lived as they lost 32-12 to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round.

The Los Angeles Chargers are maintaining consistency in their quarterback room behind Justin Herbert. After a brief deliberation period, the Chargers will bring back veteran Taylor Heinicke in free agency for a second season with the team.
