Former Georgia QB Carson Beck remains unsigned months after NFL draft
Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck is one of the final unsigned picks from the 2026 NFL Draft. Beck, who transferred to the Miami Hurricanes for his senior year, was selected in the third round of the draft by the Arizona Cardinals .
Beck is projected to take a significant pay cut in the NFL compared to what he made in his final year of college. Beck is unsigned along with several other quarterbacks taken in the draft: Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, Alabama's Ty Simpson and Penn State's Drew Allar. It is unclear what is holding up the contracts of so many quarterbacks.

Last year, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, a second-round pick, signed a fully guaranteed deal on July 19 after holding out. Second-round picks normally don't have fully guaranteed deals, but Shough reversed that trend.
NFL teams seek to sign all of their draft picks prior to training camp. Beck attended the Cardinals' rookie minicamp and the team's mandatory minicamp. Beck has a shot to start during his rookie season. He's not expected to be Arizona's Week 1 starting quarterback. The Cardinals are projected to start Jacoby Brissett, but if Arizona's season does not go well, Beck could start around midseason.
Arizona is expected to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Cardinals play in the same division as a trio of Super Bowl contenders, and they are rebuilding. The Cardinals will look to sign Beck, Arizona's last unsigned draft pick, before training camp starts on July 22.
