I understand Siemian's mindset. He has started 30 games in the NFL and 7 years ago had a stellar season, including one game where he threw for 4 TD and no interceptions and a 132.1 QB rating (against the Bengals) and one game with 3 TD and no interceptions and a QB rating of 125.6. Losing to Browning, who never started a game or even threw an NFL pass at that point (he now as one pass attempted), is one thing; but not even making the squad was another. He probably thinks his worth is more. Just a year ago he was signed to a $4 million contract with $3 million guaranteed. Now he was looking at practice squad payments.
But he hasn't done much for the past 4 years and didn't show anything in preseason. Past glory doesn't account for much when that glory was so long ago and not sustained. But I think Siemian thinks, and probably accurately, that some team, after some QB injuries that inevitably happen, will pick him up and put him on an active roster. There aren't that many QBs available who have starting experience.
I'm happy for Browning. He worked hard and earned his shot.
