NFL: Preseason-Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons
NEW YORK — The New York Jets are finally addressing their quarterback room.
Veteran signal caller Trevor Siemian is signing with the Jets, pending a physical, according to Adam Schefter.
It’s about time.
After Zach Wilson’s latest disastrous outing in Week 3 against the Patriots, the Jets have no choice but to try something.

Siemian, who started one game for the Jets in 2019 and got one start for the Bears last season, might actually be an upgrade over Wilson.
The 31-year-old most recently spent training camp and the preseason with the Bengals, but didn’t make their roster.
In his NFL career, Siemian has started 30 games and gone 13-17 as a starter, throwing 42 touchdown passes and 28 interceptions.
He joins Wilson and Tim Boyle on the Jets’ quarterback depth chart.
Jets head coach Robert Saleh re-committed to Wilson after the team’s Week 4 loss.
“He’s our unquestioned quarterback. He’s not the reason why we lost yesterday. He gives us the best chance to win,” Saleh said. “That’s basically the cleanest answer I can give you.”
Whatever you say coach.
Wilson has predictably been a disaster through three games, passing for just 467 yards and two touchdowns alongside four interceptions.
