The Falcons are continuing to reshape their quarterback depth chart. One other veteran addition has been lined up in the shape of Trevor Siemian.
Atlanta agreed to terms with Siemian on Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. He’ll offer depth behind returnee Michael Penix Jr. and free agent addition Tua Tagovailoa. The 2 southpaws are set to compete for the starting gig this offseason.
Whichever of Penix or Tagovailoa loses out will little doubt be tasked with handling QB2 duties. Penix continues to get well from a partial ACL tear, though, and he could remain sidelined for a notable stretch of the offseason in consequence. Atlanta will look to Siemian as a veteran who can handle reps through the spring and into training camp.
The previous seventh-rounder combined to make 24 starts with the Broncos across the 2016 and ’17 seasons. Since then, Siemian has largely operated as a backup while bouncing around to a variety of teams. His most up-to-date motion through the regular season got here in 2023 as a member of the Jets. Siemian joined the Titans this past August shortly before being released during roster cutdowns. Tennessee retained him via the practice squad.
After not seeing any playing time in 2025, Siemian will aim to compete for a roster spot on his latest team. The 34-year-old has posted a record of 15-18 within the NFL, throwing 44 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. In yearly of his profession, Siemian has posted a completion percentage of 59.5% or lower, so expectations will definitely be tempered if he does wind up on the sector at any point.
The Falcons entered Tuesday with roughly $14MM in cap space. This Siemian deal will presumably check in at or near the league minimum, so there’ll still be funds for other low-profile free agent moves once it’s finalized.
