Has offensive tackle Mekhi Becton played well enough to convince the New York Jets to re-sign him in the 2024 offseason?

I cant pretend that I'm some sort of expert on O-line metrics, but this article backs up what my eyes have seen on Becton this year. Kudos to him for mostly staying healthy and playing through some nicks. And there were some early highlights for sure. But overall, he's just sloppy in technique and gets absolutely smoked by good speed rushers on a consistent basis.
Sucks to have to replace both tackles this off-season (unless they move AVT to RT permanently, which I think should absolutely be on the table) but i see absolutely no reason to commit any sort of long term, big money deal for him. He just isn't very good on tape or on paper. Is he better with better guys around him? Probably. But paying him something like 3 for 30 to find out would be too risky for me.
Take a tackle with your first rounder, move AVT to RT. Tippman at C and find a couple of guards in free agency. Hope to god SOMEONE stays healthy next year so they dont need to play 15 different guys again
