NEW YORK — Trevor Siemian has joined the Jets to be Sam Darnold’s backup. The 27-year-old Siemian spent last season with Minnesota, but was with Denver the previous three years. Siemian was a seventh-round draft pick by Denver out of Northwestern in 2015 and served as the Broncos’ backup to Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler. The Jets also have Davis Webb on their roster, but wanted a veteran presence with McCown an unrestricted free agent and considering retirement. “I have spoken to the Jets to make them aware,” McCown said in the statement on March 11.
