Broncos reportedly trade QB Trevor Siemian to Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings are closing in on a deal to acquire quarterback Trevor Siemian from the Denver Broncos, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.
The Broncos will receive an undisclosed 2019 draft choice from Minnesota. Denver will send a 2018 late-round pick along with Siemian.
The trade gives Minnesota a backup quarterback behind Kirk Cousins, who is expected to sign a three-year, $84 million deal with the Vikings.
Earlier Wednesday, Denver signed former Vikings starter Case Keenum to a two-year, $36 million deal.
