The Broncos have received calls from several clubs with interest in quarterback Trevor Siemian, according to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post.
That Denver is hearing from teams with an eye towards acquiring Siemian should come as no surprise, given both that the Broncos signed fellow quarterback Case Keenum to a two-year deal earlier today and the fact that Denver had been openly shopping Siemian. With Keenum now the Broncos’ starter, and former first-round pick Paxton Lynch likely to serve as the club’s backup, Siemian doesn’t have a role in the Mile High City.
Siemian offered league-average production in 14 games as the Broncos’ starter in 2016, as the former seventh-round pick completed 59.5% of his passes for 3,401 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Last season, however, Siemian struggled mightily, and Denver ultimately turned to Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch under center.
Siemian could conceivably attract interest from any number of teams as a backup quarterback, especially given his price tag. He’ll earn just $1.907MM in 2018 (a raise over his scheduled base salary, thanks to the proven performance escalator), an entirely palatable figure for a No. 2 signal-caller.
I hope we can at least get a football pump for him
Mccown just got 10M so I think they could get a decent draft pick
I bet Dallas has called to see the price.. You’d be alright with him starting 2-4 games
Patrick: “I have $3.”
Welcome to the Cowboys Siemian. You will be the next q.b. Coach
I bet the phones are just gonna ringing off the hooks.
As long as the Bears don’t sign him for $20 million !!
If they get anything above a 6th rounder they’ll be lucky, Trevor will be too, going from a #3 to #2
Would rather see him as the backup in Pittsburgh than Jones.
Pitt will prolly draft a QB early…
How is this biggest news from broncos camp?? I see all these players signing and Denver nothing. Siemian At beat will get 5th round pick. Come on elway we need !
hairs, tackle, linebacker, defensive tackle?? Time to move
Well… they didn’t have a lot of money. And then they signed the first major FA.
So I’m not sure why people are surprised that they haven’t made any news since. They have no money.
I have $20 gift card and an open box of Girl Scout cookies. I keep the cookies though.
Take It!
I’d love to be the guy the Broncos are paying to answer those calls.
Broncos fans, would he be a decent backup for Mariota?
how about cin they just lost their backup qb or maybe even the vikings since right now they dont have anyone of note to back up cousins
Trying to think of the team that can’t use a young backup who has starting experience…
There’s Philly with Wentz and Foles.
Then there’s the Jets with McCown and Bridgewater.
And then yea – id say every other team could use a cheap, experienced QB to serve as their back up.
So are we done here? Can people stop listing their favorite team as one that could use Simien?
Denver should have 20 mill still cap was around 38 million! They have much to shore up wish they would get on it
Kansas City needs a backup!
Browns. Broncos have a terrible O-Line. Brown’s don’t actually.
