According to the latest Jets rumors, the team is reportedly interested in backup quarterback Trevor Siemian — could this be the right move?
Former #Rams backup QB Sean Mannion is in the mix for the #Vikings, sources say. Trevor Siemian, Minnesota’s backup last year, has interest from a few places and is meeting with the #Jets tomorrow.

Sieman, according to USA Today, has a bit of an embarrassment of riches. Right now, he's in the running for the Jets position because Josh McCown is considering retiring, and certainly, he would be a good replacement. The Jets might even consider taking him on even if McCown stays for one more season.
Siemian has respectable numbers in the NFL, at least for a backup. His best season came in 2016 for the Broncos when he finished with 18 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, and 3,400 passing yards.
But, according to Yahoo Sports, Trevor Siemian may be doing another go-around with the Vikings, especially since the Jets aren't promising him any sort of a great payday.
“Vikings are trying to re-sign Siemian to continue to serve as a backup to starter Kirk Cousins. The Vikings dealt a fifth-round pick to the Denver Broncos last March to add Siemian to their roster. The Broncos had signed former Vikings starter Case Keenum as their replacement for Siemian as a starter. The Vikings wanted a veteran backup behind Cousins as they attempted to turn an NFC Championship appearance into another deep playoff run.”
It will be interesting to see if Trevor Siemian ends up going back to the team he played with last season or goes with the Jets.
