Report indicates how much NIL money Georgia QB Carson Beck wants to return to Bulldogs in 2024

Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck hasn't decided yet if he'll return to Athens for the 2024 season. 

According a recent report from DawgNation, Beck is seeking a substantial amount of cash to return to Georgia for a fifth season. 

Beck wants "upwards of $4 million" in NIL money to return to the Bulldogs in 2024, according to DawgNation. 

From DawgNation: Beck has reportedly yet to determine if he wants to return for another season at Georgia or declare himself eligible for the NFL draft after leading the Bulldogs to a 12-1 season and No. 6 national ranking. Multiple sources have said an offer for Beck — UGA/NIL — has been in the works, with the rising fifth-year senior seeking upwards of $4 million. 

Beck is viewed by some draft analysts as the No. 5 quarterback in the draft (if he chooses to declare). 

A year ago, Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker was the fifth quarterback selected in the 2023 NFL Draft. Hooker signed a rookie contract worth $5.7 million over four seasons. 

It's easy to see why Beck would choose $4 million for one more season in Athens as opposed to taking a paycut to go to the NFL. Beck could also increase his draft stock with another big season at Georgia. 

Seems like a no-brainer to me. Enjoy one more year of college, earn more cash, and increase potential future earnings. Beck would be foolish to pass up a $4 million deal (if it comes together) to return to Georgia.
