The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line will look slightly different in 2026.
Veteran guard Isaac Seumalo left the team in free agency, signing with the Arizona Cardinals. Pittsburgh drafted offensive tackle Max Iheanachor in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and flipped Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick from the right side to the left. The Steelers also drafted guard Gennings Dunker and signed veteran Brock Hoffman. However, Moe Moton of Bleacher Report believes Pittsburgh shouldn’t be done,
tabbing them as the top landing spot for veteran free agent Mekhi Becton.
“Although Becton started in 14 of 15 outings with the Chargers, he battled knee and hand injuries that may have affected his performances,” Moton writes. “The 6’7″, 363-pound guard also suffered a concussion last year. Los Angeles released him before free agency in March. Becton has an extensive injury history that dates back to his four-year stint with the New York Jets. Yet when healthy, the massive interior lineman can be an asset to a team that needs insurance for an underperforming starter or intends to feature a downhill ground attack in the upcoming campaign.”
Becton was the starting right guard for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, starting 15 games and helping Philadelphia defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. He was a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, going 11th overall to the New York Jets.
