Broncos QB Trevor Siemian generating trade interest

Published:

As Case Keenum arrives in Denver, another Broncos quarterback could be on the way out.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Trevor Siemian has a "few interested teams" sniffing around for a potential trade, according to sources.

Not a total surprise. Siemian offers on-field experience and a solid arm. With 24 starts over the past two seasons, he's arguably a better backup option than Paxton Lynch, but Broncos football czar John Elway appears unwilling to give up on his hand-picked first-rounder from 2016.

In an unusual situation for any quarterback, Keenum -- Denver's free-agent pickup, who has agreed to a two-year deal with the team -- could wind up starting ahead of Lynch and another first-round pick if the Broncos choose to grab a signal-caller with the fifth-overall selection in the draft.

As for Siemian, a handful of teams make sense. The Titans could use a veteran backup, while the Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers and Texans also need depth.

We'll find out soon enough if anyone's willing to give up more than a late-round pick for Siemian, but he looms as something of a bargain for quarterback-needy clubs league-wide.

UPDATE: The Minnesota Vikings and Broncosare finalizing a trade deal for Siemian, Rapoport reported.
