$6.5 million total over four years. Beck was the team's third-string quarterback during his first training camp and held the role to begin the 2007 season. Despite being the third-string quarterback, he was seen as a potential successor to incumbent starter Trent Green. With an injury to Green and inconsistent play from backup quarterback Cleo Lemon, the Dolphins struggled to an 0–8 start to the season. With the team on a bye week in Week 9, head coach Cam Cameron announced that Beck would begin splitting reps with the first-team offense with Lemon in preparation for their Week 10 contest against the Buffalo Bills. On November 14, it was announced that Beck would assume the starting job, beginning with the team's Week 11 game at the Philadelphia Eagles on November 18. Beck and the Dolphins lost to the Eagles 17–7, failing to score on offense. In the game, Beck went just 9-for-22 (40.9%) for 109 yards, however he was not sacked and committed no turnovers. Beck started in the following week 12 Monday Night match up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was delayed by harsh weather, and featured unfavorable field conditions due to mud and water. The Dolphins defense held Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers scoreless until the final seconds of the game. However, the Dolphins offense failed to produce points and Beck was the victim to an early fourth quarter strip sack by James Harrison. John passed for 132 yards without a touchdown or interception, completing 14 of 23 passes in the loss. The Dolphins played against the New York Jets (who had a record of 2-9 at the time) in Week 13. Early on, the Dolphins defense managed the New York Jets. Joey Porter intercepted a Kellen Clemens pass in the second quarter, leading to a Jay Feely field goal. Later on in the quarter, after a Will Allen sack, Michael Lehan recovered a Kellen Clemens fumble for 43 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins were up 13-10 by this time, due in part to Jay Feely's two field goals. However, once again Beck and the offense failed to score a touchdown for the duration of the game. John Beck completed just 23 of his 39 pass attempts for 177 yards, throwing three interceptions and losing a fumble. He was sacked three times, fumbling twice. Miami ended up losing the game 13-40.
