Carson Beck becomes the first of the top four quarterbacks selected in the 2026 NFL Draft to sign his rookie contract, ending a period in which all four rookies remained unsigned as of Wednesday morning, according to Yahoo Sports. The report states that Beck’s agreement breaks the deadlock, while the other three top-drafted quarterbacks have not yet signed their rookie deals at the time of publication. The story focuses on the contract-signing timeline for the earliest top-tier quarterback selections in the draft class and highlights the shift from a fully unsigned group to one quarterback who has completed negotiations and put pen to paper. The report does not provide additional details on contract terms or the identities of the other quarterbacks in the top four, but it frames Beck’s signing as the first development in the group’s broader expected process. The information reflects the status of rookie contract agreements as of Wednesday morning and the subsequent confirmation that Beck is now under contract.
