According to Mike Klis of 9News on Orange and Blue 760, the Denver Broncos have identified Trevor Siemian as the quarterback they will most likely try to move this offseason. Klis also confirmed that Brock Osweiler will not be pursued at all during free agency. Siemian won the starting job over Paxton Lynch in both 2016 and 2017. For his career, he is 13-11 as a starter, completing 59.3% of his passes for 5,686 yards with 30 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. However, it was likely his play in 2017 that cost him a chance at sticking around in Denver long-term as he became turnover prone.

Agreed. At best a conditional late round pick because of his tiny salary combined with 24 games starting experience making him a low risk backup/camp battle candidate.

I think they mean move him to fullback.

His first game against Carolina and the first three this year were decent games that had me hopeful for his chances but as it turned out he really just isn't very good.

How's that for a run on sentence?!?

shouldn't they be trying to move chad kelly instead? I have it on good authority that he had first round value last year, so we should be able to get a lot for him on a 7th round salary, right?

They definitely will. Not a great draft pick, but possibly a 5th or 6th rounder. Since he was a 7th round QB they should exceed his original draft value.

He isn't a starter caliber QB, but there is definitely a place on NFL rosters for an experienced backup QB who doesn't cost a lot of money. And Trevor fits the bill.

Ideally, you want your backup to be some former starter who failed with another team and now is just lucky to have a job in the NFL. In short, someone else's mistake.

Well the Broncos wasted 2 years starting Trevor until it became painfully obvious that he would never develop into an acceptable starter. Now that's created his value.

If a guy is a starter or believes he's a starter he will be impatient and want to "get his chance." Now Trevor might believe that he's still a starter somewhere, but he'll have to accept a backup role if he wants to play in the league. So, he can go to some team that needs a backup and get somewhere between $2m and $3m maybe, and it doesn't cost too much.

And that team gets a guy who can come in and play for a few games and not totally poop in his pants. You won't get a full season out of him but for maybe 3 or 4 games you can get by until your starter is healthy again. I doubt he's capable of doing what Nick Foles is doing after Carson Wentz went down, but then he'll be cheaper than Foles too.

So, if you want a bargain basement experienced starting QB to be your backup and you have a secure franchise QB, Trevor is probably a good investment, because if he were much better he'd cost too much, and if he were any worse, he'd be out of the league altogether.

I think they'll find a trade partner.

He's one of the worst players I have ever seen in my entire life. First year he was ranked damn near dead last for productivity, and then he turned into a panicky and horrified QB. I've never hated a QB more in my life. I really dislike him. He just pisses me the **** off.

I wouldn't wish him on Cleveland. I just really ******* hate that piece of shit QB. He got into the league on accident. He only became a starter on accident. He's like Tom Brady in the sense of it was a 'holy **** how did he get there' type thing, but instead TS shit the bed. He's a bland guy with a bland style of play and he has no strengths on the field. He's a shitty Kyle Orton. I resent our coach for keeping him out there as long as he did.

I would rather buy a LBJ jersey and wear it during the Cavs playoff games...over...watching...TS play a game as a Denver Bronco.

I'm sure the Vikings are glad they gambled on Case Keenum. I agree that he's a backup that can start a few games a year and not lose the season. This year showed a lot of teams either had no qb's at all or had no decent backup once the starter went down.

And here's a scary thought. If the Chiefs move Alex Smith, I could envision Siemian as a backup qb with any of our division rivals although I doubt the Broncos would trade him directly (except in an Alex-Smith-for-Siemian-and-draft-picks trade which is as unlikely as the Browns finding a HOF quarterback).

In a perfect world TS plays his entire career in Denver. Hes an ideal backup. He's smart, works hard and the fellas in the LR love him. He's exactly the kind of guy that you may not want guiding the ship for a full season but for a game or two while the starter is hurt he's a very good option.

The locker room rebelled on the defensive side when he was stinking it up.

Just to give a different opinion on the rebellion, I was kind of getting the feeling that a lot of that was on the coaching staff and not all the player(s).

Might just be my take, considering I am looking at the situation with a lot less disgust for the person in question, that might be why my view differs slightly.

Look at the numbers.

First, Broncos are going to sign a veteran FA who is capable of starting this year.

Second, unless they sign Cousins, they are going to draft a QB to develop as their future franchise , possibly at #5.

Then they have a developmental QB already on the roster, either Paxton or Kelly - one will almost certainly be here and possibly both.

There's just no room for Trevor. He isn't good enough to start and backup QBs are plentiful. He wants a chance to play somewhere. It won't be here.

If they can get anything for him, take it and run. Its a QB starved league. Hell have plenty of chances.

Agreed. I don't think they would keep him with a rookie at this point.

I would think a conditional 7th, possibly 6th would be about it. His Broncos career took a nose dive and he's had two consecutive off seasons needing shoulder surgery.

Even then, we still have Lynch and Kelly on the roster and both are likely capable of replicating the production of Siemian. Pretty sure he's done in Denver.

He is cheaper to walk away from than Paxton, but if money wasn't an issue I would take Trevor as a backup any day over Paxton. That guy doesn't belong in the NFL.

Agreed. We haven't seen enough as of yet. When we drafted him the FO knew it was going to be a 2-3 yr project.

If we bring in a vet, lets get rid of TS (didnt' show shit) keep PL and Kelly and see what happens and hope one of those two can do something. If not, move on.

I hi fived this, because generally I agree. I think of the two, TS is probably a better backup at this point than PL, especially if we can upgrade the line, which he would clearly need, but you really don't want to cut PL both because of the high cap hit and not knowing 100% he's a bust, and I would not want to let Kelly go without seeing what we have in him.

People keep saying he showed something in that last game. It seems to me he showed he could be competitive in the second half of a preseason game after the starters are pulled.

Earlier this week, 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis reported that the Broncos identified Trevor Siemian as the quarterback they will most likely try to move this offseason, well now we have more fuel to add to that fire.

Roster Watch is reporting that the Broncos have several suitors for quarterback Trevor Siemian and that the Atlanta Falcons could have interest after hiring former Broncos quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp.
