Georgia’s Carson Beck Predicted to Replace $112 Million Star QB After Trade.

Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck is looking to keep his squad in contention for the SEC title and ultimately a College Football Playoff appearance. Beck is also among the top quarterback prospects ahead of the 2025 NFL draft.

The Georgia quarterback has not had the cleanest start to the season, but Beck is still in contention to be selected in the first round. Beck has thrown for 1,993 yards, 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 66% of his passes through seven games.

Heading into the team’s rivalry game against the Florida Gators on Saturday, Beck had thrown five interceptions in his previous two games. Not a stat that NFL scouts are thrilled to see.

CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson floated an interesting scenario in a 2025 NFL mock draft that has the New York Jets moving back into the end of the first round to select Beck. Wilson has the Jets moving up from No. 41 to No. 32 by striking a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.

“The Jets get Tetairoa McMillan at No. 9 and trade back into Round 1 (they currently have pick No. 41) to get Carson Beck here,” Wilson wrote Oct. 7.

The Jets would pass on Beck at No. 9 and attempt to move back into the first round to land the signal-caller. If Beck does slip in the draft, it could take some of the pressure off the Bulldogs quarterback to start right away with his new NFL team.

 

Aaron Rodgers’ three-year, $112 million contract is slated to run through the 2025 season. It will be interesting to see if New York explores adding their quarterback of the future in the offseason.
