The Arizona Cardinals have finalized a four-year, $7.4 million rookie contract with third-round quarterback Carson Beck, making Beck one of the last unsigned rookies from the 2026 class to sign. Beck, who led Miami and Georgia to prominent college appearances, is expected to compete for a spot in a quarterback room that includes Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and Kedon Slovis as training camp opens. While Brissett is currently favored to start, his own contract situation remains unsettled, potentially shaping the early trajectory of Arizona’s QB competition. Beck’s signing solidifies a rebuilding-era storyline as the team aims to unlock development potential behind a veteran-heavy depth chart. Across reports, he is viewed as a developmental prospect who could compete for starts later in the season if opportunities arise. The Cardinals have also added other rookies and players in the draft class, with Beck’s arrival signaling a focus on long-term quarterback development rather than immediate stability.
