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.
