Tim Tebow Traded in The Jets

Tim Tebow Traded in The Jets: Tim Tebow arrived in New York. Indeed.

After a false start a big New York Jets scored Tebow as the return on Wednesday evening, the defender, who turned in the Denver Broncos from one season too, ran into a playoff team and became the most discussed last player in the NFL - on the draft pick of the fourth and sixth round .

Now Tebowmania opens on Broadway.

And it certainly has a lot of drama - as there was when the jet took off the market. Or thought they did, that is.

"I'm glad they stuck with me through all this crazy process," said Tebow during a conversation Wednesday night, repeating several times that he was "excited" to be a member of airplanes and playing coach Rex Ryan.

Eight hours after the originally agreed to a trade, the team finished. He was suspended when the aircraft, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, refuses to reimburse Denver for more than 5 million dollars for a payday advance because Tebow. Both sides agreed to share costs and aircraft general manager Mike Tannenbaum said that the command "arranges compensation", which included Denver seventh round of the draft in April.

He said that disagreements about how to control the advance of wages received after the work of Denver.

"We knew that the contract was" Tannenbaum said in a separate conference call on Wednesday. "We had to read .... We thought it was a way; .. They thought it was another Accordingly, they were within their rights in order to evaluate the different possibilities of what to do, and their deputies and they did all day. "

Jets and the Broncos traded first announced just after 13 am Eastern time on Wednesday. But then Denver, sources said, asked the aircraft to pay the salaries and bonuses already paid to Tebow.

Tebow received an advance of $ 6.2 million salary until 2011, sources said. Tebow contract requires aircraft to pay wages for the peak seasons of 2012, 2013 and 2014, a total of $ 5 million, according to sources.

Broncos have to pay these aircraft to achieve the salary in accordance with the terms of the contract. Jets do not want to do this by allowing the Jaguars re-enter the picture.

Jacksonville gave the Broncos fourth round pick, and was willing to pay more than in Denver, if not all, $ 5 million contract to a question Tebow, league sources told Schefter. But Denver liked the best deal and Tebow is preferable to being traded to New York in connection with the support he received from the aircraft before the Office of aircraft and trainers, according to sources.

Tebow denies that he makes the final decision, where he went.

"Ultimately, I really have no reason Broncos had all this power," Tebow, adding that Denver was "gracious" in how it dealt with the process. "I was just kind of watch and wait -. As with all of this was an interesting day."

Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement Wednesday night that he had asked the general manager Gene Smith to look into the contract Tebow.

"I think we should explore all possibilities for improving the Jaguar on and off the field, especially given the unique circumstances associated with the player," said Khan. "I appreciate the high level of due diligence gene and its staff involved in this problem, even at the end of today, and I am very pleased with the result. Our commitment to the development of [2011 first round] Blaine Gabbert has been and still remains, in the heart of our to return to the elite status of the Jaguars in the NFL. We will be happy with zero regrets. "

Tebow, a former first round pick went to the trading bloc on Monday, when the Broncos free agent Peyton Manning, who signed a five-year, $ 96 million contract.

Several teams have expressed interest in Tebow, but the Jets - believed to sleep in the beginning - removed splashiest offseason trade.

Tebow, who has three years of his contract in 2012 base salary of $ 1.1 million, to join the cast of backup Mark Sanchez falls short, but its presence may be controversial quarter. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie tweeted on Tuesday night that "we do not need Tebow," expressing confidence in Sanchez and the current list.

Tannenbaum said the team is committed to Sanchez.

"Mark Sanchez is, was and will be our starting defender," he said, noting that he spoke to two quarters and explained his role.

Tebow said he had "great conversation" with Sanchez on Wednesday, adding that they had been friends for several years.

"My goal is to service better and pushing myself better every day," said Tebow, who will not be publicly presented on Friday in the near future. "But I think we have an excellent working relationship. We have good relations with the field, and we had that last year. He's a guy, classy and handles very well, and I have the honor to call him my teammate . "

Responding to a question Tuesday that he thought it would be like playing with Tebow, Sanchez told Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles: "I think Peyton [Manning] is great, I think Tim will be of great odds is either going to get. a great chance to learn from one of the best defenders ever to play, or move to another location, and uses his skills to another ballclub It is, of course, talent, he knows how to win, he knows ... encourages players "

Dates of operation Interestingly, New York.

Two weeks ago, gave Sanchez a jet of three-year, $ 40.5 million contract extension, professing their faith in him, though he declined last season. They signed former Detroit Lions backup Drew Stanton last week, their defender number 2, which gives him a $ 500,000 signing bonus. It is also a former Alabama star Greg McElroy.

But the aircraft to see Tebow as a player with the ability to change tempo run Wildcat offense. They used the Wildcat in recent years, but reduced in the last season with the departure of Brad Smith. New offensive coordinator Tony Sparano is, who introduced the Wildcat in the NFL as coach of Miami Dolphins.

"It is very clear: they want me to come in and compete, and better and better as a defender and help the team any way possible," Tebow said. "Regardless of the role, I will do my best."

Tannenbaum said that the aircraft Tebow makes "a diverse, dynamic offense that will make it more difficult for opposing teams to defend."

Hall of Fame defender Joe Namath, who led the aircraft to the Super Bowl by name only in 1969, was one of those unhappy with the trade when it was announced earlier on Wednesday.

"I just wish that I could not agree more. I think this is just a publicity stunt. I can not go with him. I think it's wrong," Namath said: "Michael Kay Show" on ESPN1050 in New York . "I do not think they know what they're doing."

To the question, expressed the hope that it will eventually fail, Namath said, "Absolutely."

"And I'm a fan of Tim Tebow, but I have more fans, I'm a fan of Jet Tim Tebow," Namath said.

Ryan, however, wants planes back to the team the power stroke, and New York proved it back Shonn Greene. Tebow 6 feet 3 inches, 238 pounds gained 660 yards last season, including 20-yard touchdown pass in the final minute to beat the jets 17-14 in a game in Denver in November.

A few weeks earlier, Tebow beat Sparano and the Dolphins one of the returned tag, overcoming 15-0 deficit to win 18-15 in overtime.

There is also some thought that Tebow and his own image of the cup would help polish the negative perception of the locker room aircraft, torn divisions last season. But others close to the team said it was not a factor in the decision.

The potential for the game remains, nonetheless. Tebow brings a flock of enthusiasts, for reasons that have to do the same with his faith as his football skills. A devout Christian, he was a role model, since his days in Florida, where he led the Gators two national titles and won the Heisman Trophy.

The immense popularity Tebow could become a distraction, especially for Sanchez. If Sanchez is fighting fans may turn against him and start calling Tebow.

"Obviously, we know, Tim has the following magnetic and it is dynamic, but, since the defender was the fourth backup," Tannenbaum said on Wednesday. "If you're struggling, we understand the popularity of any backup defender. It's a little more unique than others. Everything in this market has shown strength and perseverance. "

It will also be setup to Tebow as the backup role. He became one of the most popular athletes in the country last season, replacing Kyle Orton and the Broncos lead - apparently died after 1-4 start - 8.8 Cup record and the name of the West. He did this with a number of wonderful finishes, more incredible than the other.

Tebow won his first playoff game, beating Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown pass from 80 yards Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime. Next week, Tebow crashed hard in the 45-10 loss New England Patriots.

President of the Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway Tebow anointed the starting point for the defender to get into training camp, but this did not prevent him from entering the competition Manning.

Obviously, the Broncos were upset with his mechanics as the wrong way. Tebow completed only 46.5 percent of his throws last season.

"As a former player, I know that over the past two weeks has not been easy for Tim" Elway said in a statement on Wednesday. "He was put in a difficult position, and I congratulate him on how he managed with the same class, so it appears throughout his career in Denver."

It would be interesting to see how Tebow is allowed in the locker room aircraft. In the run-up in November last game, defense aircraft were not free, considering the passing skills. Cornerback Darrelle Revis said Tebow unorthodox style as a defender option could not sustain long-term success in the NFL.

As it turned out, Tebow made the playoffs, and Sanchez was not. Sanchez struggled down the stretch, fueling speculation about his future. Publicly, officials say, the team, but also promised the depth chart per liter will look different in 2012.

They were not kidding.
