Sans Sam, the New York Jets are setting their sights on Siemian.
In the wake of Sam Darnold’s mononucleosis diagnosis, Trevor Siemian will start at quarterback for the foreseeable future. His green debut will come on Monday night against the Cleveland Browns (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Not too long ago, Siemian was the present and future for the Denver Broncos. A seventh-round pick (250th overall) in 2015, Siemian was the first man to take snaps at Mile High since Peyton Manning’s retirement. A strong start wound up giving way to inconsistency, but Siemian still managed to shape a respectable statline considering his final round status.
