The Arizona Cardinals have come to contract terms with all seven of their 2026 draft picks after agreeing on a four-year deal with their last remaining unsigned rookie, third-round quarterback Carson Beck.
Beck, the former standout at Georgia and the University of Miami, is expected to get the chance to start some games this season for the Cardinals despite the presence of veteran QBs Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew II.
Beck and the Cardinals were scheduled to report to training camp at State Farm Stadium on Wednesday, July 22.
The team also announced it has signed defensive lineman Coziah Izzard. Izzard spent his rookie season in 2025 on the practice squads of the Saints and Chiefs after entering the league with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent from Penn State.
Beck was a member of two national championship teams with the Bulldogs as a backup and, after transferring to Miami, helped lead the Hurricanes to the national title game last season. Miami went 13-3 last season with Beck completing 72.4 percent of his passes for 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
