Jets to sign QB Siemian as backup to Darnold

It's a one-year contract for $2 million, according to a source. It has a maximum value of $3 million with incentives.

Siemian will replace Josh McCown, who spent the last two seasons with the Jets -- 2017 as the starter, 2018 as Darnold's backup. McCown, who turns 40 on July 4, has been mulling his future. He recently indicated a desire to continue with his football career, but he wanted to spend time with his family before committing. If he decides to play, he could be a training-camp option for a team that needs an experienced backup.

Siemian, who posted a 13-11 starting record with the Denver Broncos, gives the Jets some experience behind Darnold, who started 13 games as a rookie. The only other quarterback on the roster is former New York Giants draft pick Davis Webb, who has yet to play in a regular-season game.
