Atlanta Falcons sign 34-year-old quarterback to join Tagovailoa and Penix

The Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback room may already be set. First, they signed left-handed QB Tua Tagovailoa. The former Pro Bowler is expected to either start until fellow lefty Michael Penix Jr. makes a full recovery from his torn ACL, or possibly completely replace the 2024 first-round pick. While it’s clear who Atlanta’s top two quarterbacks are, now another arm has joined the fray.

On Tuesday, the Falcons signed 34-year-old backup QB Trevor Siemian. He will undoubtedly be the Falcons’ third-line QB behind Tagovailoa and Penix.

Siemian was the 250th selection in the 2015 NFL Draft. Considering that 249 players were selected before him, the seventh-round selection has had a good career.

After winning the Super Bowl as a rookie on Peyton Manning’s Broncos, Siemian has made 40 appearances and 33 starts. He has appeared in one game for seven different teams. Still, the Falcons are the 10th team Siemian has signed with.

However, he reunited in Atlanta with Kevin Stefanski, with whom he worked on the Vikings in 2018. Even though it’s been a long time, Siemian should have a very short learning curve when it comes to mastering the offense. With only five selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Falcons have already finalized their QB room, but there’s always a possibility they’ll add another camp arm as Penix continues his rehab.

Los Angeles Rams ‘interested’ in 34-year-old QB

The Los Angeles Rams love the team they’ve built. This helped them win 12 games and reach the NFC Conference Championship. But as general manager Les Snead knows, there’s clearly more work to be done.

Yet, after only a four-point loss to the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Rams also feel like they are close to the ultimate goal again. They also have a head coach and starting quarterback who already know what it takes to win a Super Bowl.

As the Rams continue to build out their quarterback room, which now only includes Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett, they will have to consider whether they want more experience or upside at the position. As a team that feels like they are favorites, the Rams probably have something else to prove.

recently, athleticNate Atkins reported that the Rams are “interested in bringing back Jimmy Garoppolo.” However, Atkins says “the market for them is fluid.”

As expected, others are expected to be interested in the two-time Super Bowl winner. Still, the Rams may have the upper hand on the 34-year-old, given that he’s spent the last two seasons mastering Sean McVay’s system in Los Angeles.

However, perhaps Garoppolo is tired of sitting on the bench. He has started only one game the past two years, and barring injury, he may not get those opportunities with the Rams. Perhaps better playing opportunities exist in Arizona, Pittsburgh, or other destinations where the quarterback position is weak. After Stafford’s MVP campaign, this clearly isn’t Los Angeles.
