Jets acquire Tim Tebow from Broncos for fourth-round pick

Tim Tebow is a New York Jet.


One day after the Denver Broncos signed Peyton Manning as their new starting quarterback, Denver has traded Tebow to the Jets, as first reported by Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Jets will send the Broncos their fourth-round draft pick. Additionally, the Broncos will send a seventh-round pick to the Jets and receive a sixth-round pick from the Jets.

The trade ends a tenure in Denver with Tebow that was one of the most astonishing two-year stints that any player has ever had with any team. Tebow was a surprise first-round draft pick in the 2010 NFL draft, then surprisingly became the starter in the fifth game of the 2011 season, and then shockingly led the Broncos to a series of improbable comeback victories and became arguably the NFL’s biggest star.

And now Tebow is with the Jets, one of the many teams he beat with a great fourth-quarter comeback last season. It’s not clear whether the Jets plan to allow Tebow to compete for the starting job, or whether they expect him to be a wildcat quarterback, but the player who’s as famous as any in the league is now in the Big Apple.

Mark Sanchez, Tebowmania is in your rear-view mirror.

Go Jets!
Looks like I've just converted to a Jets fan!

That is such a bad organization for Tebow to mixed up in. I'm sure he could use a lot of prayer right now.

That is sad to hear. I was hoping that he would end up with another organization. I'm not sure how much true position development he will get in NY, and I really enjoy watching him play. On the other hand, what if that is where the Lord will use Tim as an example that cracks open hardened hearts and humbles arrogant egos on and off the field?

Don't Go the "Broadway Joe", Follow the "Narrow Way Tebow" goes...JESUS lol you heard it here first...

I lived in Jacksonville, FL through Tim's High School and college careers. I don't think I missed a game while he was a Gator. Here's a few time proven observations:


Being in the spotlight has not changed him or his deep convictions in the least.

He may lack some skills that the experts think he must have in order to compete, yet is a competitor without equal. Ask any one who has played with him.

He is able to lift the level of the game and the players around him because he is committed to giving his best every down.

His depth of faith and humility will always be the cause that polarizes "fans", and he knows it. He is an excellent role model because of the role model he has chosen. The Lord Jesus Christ.

Just some food for thought.......

New York City..!!!!????


Bad move all round. Can't see Tebow with Rex Ryan. I think he would have been better off in Miami - there more rooted and rounded for success then Jacksonville - J-ville needs to much work and Tebow isn't the guy to fix them.

The Jets would have been the last place I'd thought he'd end up.

I am thrilled Tim Tebow is a New York Jet. Hopefully brother LaDainian Tomlinson will also stay with the Jets.

Maybe the Lord has a plan for putting Tebow exactly where he's at? On the otherhand, I heard a quote once that said if the Lord card about sports there would have been no George Steinbrenner.
