Siemian is narrowly behind Mark Sanchez in the Broncos' quarterback battle, Troy Renck of The Denver Post reports.
There's no doubt that some of the buzz around Siemian has to do with the slow summer news cycle. Still, the drum beat behind him has persisted through spring practices and is hard to ignore. Sanchez was never supposed to be more than a stopgap. By developing Siemian into a starter-quality option with first-rounder Paxton Lynch waiting in the wings, they could solidify the position for years to come or create a valuable trade chip in the 2015 seventh-rounder.
