The Falcons are continuing to reshape their quarterback depth chart. Another veteran addition has been lined up in the form of Trevor Siemian. 
Atlanta agreed to terms with Siemian on Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. He will offer depth behind returnee Michael Penix Jr. and free agent addition Tua Tagovailoa. The two southpaws are set to compete for the starting gig this offseason.
Whichever of Penix or Tagovailoa loses out will no doubt be tasked with handling QB2 duties. Penix continues to recover from a partial ACL tear, though, and he could remain sidelined for a notable stretch of the offseason as a result. Atlanta will look to Siemian as a veteran who can handle reps through the spring and into training camp.
The former 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 number of teams. His most recent action during the regular season came 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 in the NFL, throwing 44 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. In every year of his career, Siemian has posted a completion percentage of 59.5% or lower, so expectations will certainly be tempered if he does wind up on the field 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 will still be funds for other low-profile free agent moves once it is finalized.
The savior of our franchise.
🤣
Lol
From SBnation I read the article yesterday: The Falcons somehow got worse at quarterback, which is an impressive feat considering their previous two starters’ lower bodies are being held together by metal and hope. On top of signing Tua Tagovailoa, the Falcons have made 14 free agent signings, none of which are notable needle-movers.

Great article. Drips w/ sarcasm!
Sarcasm huh?
Well so much for the Falcons trading for Dillon Gabriel
Maybe they can trade Penix, Tagovailoa and Siemian for Watson! Cleveland gets to stockpile a few more QBs and the Falcons QB situation can’t get much worse, I guess…
You know it’s bad when this guy has a shot at making it. Jake Browning beat him out for the backup job with the Bengals before he even had any experience. I think they’d be better off bringing back Easton Stick, and he lost every game he started filling in when Justin Herbert was injured.
Who wouldn’t want a QB who has a 129.5 passer rating when leading with less than 4 minutes to go? 🙂
I’m a Browns fan and I can promise you that this is Kevin Stefanski’s emotional support backup quarterback
Stefanski: “Trevor, you’re here to provide ’emotional’ support because I didn’t have time to adopt a dog from the Humane Society” 🙂
This guy has been basically living off of 2016 his whole career and then off of 2021 after years of making 2016 look like a complete fluke.
He was absolutely terrible with New York yet was impressive in New Orleans and for one year in Denver.
All of which completely tracks with his college numbers.
Why not add him to the mix I guess if you’re Atlanta.
Bringing in a guy with a Super Bowl ring.
Still don’t know why they signed Tua?
