The Jets may be adding a quarterback, but don’t expect him to replace Zach Wilson any time soon.
Veteran Trevor Siemian is visiting the Jets on Tuesday, according to a source. The team will sign him to the practice squad if all goes well with the visit and he passes a physical.
This would be the second stint with the Jets for the 31-year-old.
He played for the Jets in 2019, making one abbreviated start against the Browns on “Monday Night Football.”
Myles Garrett hit Siemian and caused a season-ending ankle injury after he threw just six passes.
The signing of Siemian likely would do little to calm down Jets fans who are tired of seeing Wilson at quarterback.
Siemian would be on the practice squad and get up to speed on the playbook before the Jets can consider bringing him up to the active roster.
The Jets have been looking to add a quarterback since Aaron Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon four plays into the season but did not love the options.
They were interested in signing Chad Henne, who knows Nathaniel Hackett’s offense, but he chose to stay retired.
They were also interested in Rams practice squad quarterback Brett Rypien, who played for Hackett in Denver last year, but the Rams signed Rypien to their active roster when the Jets showed interest.
Siemian was a seventh-round pick of the Broncos in 2015. He has started 30 games and appeared in five more, throwing for 7,027 yards, 42 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.
He has also played for the Vikings, Titans, Saints and Bears.
Siemian was with the Bengals in training camp this year but lost the competition to be Joe Burrow’s backup to Jake Browning.
He started one game last year for the Bears and it was against the Jets. He went 14-of-25 for 179 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Jets’ 31-10 win.
Siemian started four games for the Saints in 2021 and the team lost all four games. He has not won a game he started since 2017.
