Bengals sign veteran backup quarterback Trevor Siemian

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will have a new backup quarterback this year.

Trevor Siemian is signing a one-year deal with the Bengals, first reported by NFL Network and The Athletic.

Siemian, 31, replaces Brandon Allen, who spent the last three seasons backing up Burrow. Allen agreed to a deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday.

After spending the 2022 season in Chicago, the Bears released Siemian in March. He played in two games and started one, completing 15 of 26 passes for 184 yards with a touchdown and interception.

Siemian was a seventh-round pick out of Northwestern in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.
