Lane Kiffin takes dig at Carson Beck's $4.3M NIL deal

Carson Beck isn’t worth the big check in Lane Kiffin’s opinion.

Following the 2024 season, the quarterback went into the transfer portal after initially declaring for the NFL draft to boost his stock into 2026.

He left Georgia and joined the Miami Hurricanes.

Beck, set to step in for the departing Cam Ward in the NFL, recently inked an NIL agreement valued at approximately $4.3 million, ranking as one of the most lucrative nationwide.

Upon discovering this amount while featured on “The Pivot Podcast” as a guest, the head coach at Ole Miss made a sly comment targeting the ex-Bulldogs signal-caller.

“Miami gave him $4.3 million?” Kiffin asked. “Did they watch his game against us?”

Beck only lost two games in the 2024 season.

One of them was at the hands of Kiffin and Ole Miss, a 28-10 defeat that saw Beck throw 20-for-31 for 186 yards and one interception.

This figure represented a significant drop from the typical performances witnessed from Georgia’s quarterbacks, with the previous starter concluding the season with 3,485 passing yards, 28 touchdown throws, and 12 interceptions.

He also recorded a 64.7 percent pass completion rate.

However, Kiffin didn’t fault Beck for going where the money was, as it’s just the way the system works in the college game now.

“I don’t ever get mad at the kids,” he said. “It’s not their fault. The system, [they] can go get it. It’s free market with no cap and in some areas, unlimited boosters.”

Beck’s deal only comes behind Arch Manning’s in value, which stands at $6.6 million.
