The Facts: Siemian's 2019 season ended in gruesome fashion, with the New York Jets quarterback ripping ligaments in his ankle in Week 2. Five and a half months later, the signal-caller is on the mend and will enter a deep pool of free-agent quarterbacks. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday that Siemian received a clean bill of health this week from specialist Dr. David Porter, per a source informed of the situation.
Diehards Line:
While the pool of potential starting quarterbacks looking for work this offseason could be historically deep, a backup with 25 starts under his belt like Siemian should have no trouble finding work when the free-agent market opens in two weeks. Entering his sixth season, he has shown the ability to lead an offense, can be a reliable spot-starter if needed and can aid in the film room during the week. For his career, Siemian has completed 59.2 percent of his 841 attempts for 5,689 yards, 6.8 yards per attempts, 30 TDs, 24 INTs and taken 66 sacks.
