Jets Secure Backup QB Trevor Siemian Amidst Struggles

The New York Jets have signed veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian as a backup to struggling starter Zach Wilson. This comes after Colin Kaepernick expressed interest in joining the team. Kaepernick, who last played in the NFL in 2016, wrote a letter offering to be part of the practice squad and help prepare the team for games. However, it is unlikely that the Jets will turn to Kaepernick due to his age, lack of recent professional experience, and unfamiliarity with the team's playbook. Siemian, who previously played for the Jets in 2019, provides an experienced option if Wilson continues to struggle.
