Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images | Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Long snapper Trent Sieg has been a quietly outstanding presence in Dallas for three years now, and enters 2026 with no concerns for change. Like teammates Brandon Aubrey and Bryan Anger, Sieg consistently holds up his end of one of the league’s best trios of specialists.
Background Years in NFL: 8 Acquired by: Free Agency (2023) Like most long snappers, Sieg entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Ravens. He experienced some early career trouble, losing a competition with veteran Morgan Cox and being waived at final cuts. But a couple of weeks later, the Raiders brought him in after their LS, Andrew DePaola, suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1.
Sieg came in and didn’t miss a beat, handling the job the rest of the year and keeping it for the next four seasons. He built a reputation as one of the league’s most reliable long snappers, mostly working with former Cowboys coach Rich Bisaccia. In 2023, Dallas was in the market for a new long snapper.
Veteran Jake McQuaide had held the post for two seasons after replacing L. P. Ladouceur in 2021.
