It's official: New York Jets acquire Tim Tebow
A wild and wacky day has come to a close and Tim Tebow is officially a New York Jet.
Earlier today, the Jets swiftly agreed to a trade with the Denver Broncos for a fourth and sixth round pick; however, two hours after they apparently agreed to acquire Tebow, a stipulation in Tebow's contract that the Broncos had to pay $5 million to Denver in order to acquire him, the deal looked dead, and the Jets squabbled over the langauge of the stipulation. Here is the sick joke to all of this: the Jets hadn't read the fine print before agreeing to the trade!! Oops.
The Jaguars and Rams jumped into the negotiations as the afternoon wore on, and as of 9:00 pm, the deal was completed with Tebow deciding to pick the Jets over his hometown Jaguars. What is surprising is that Tebow's brother tweeted that Tebow wanted to go home to Florida. But, the idea of the glitz and glamour was apparently too much to pass on for Tebow, who picks the J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS!
More important, the Jets agreed to pay half of the $5 million to the Broncos salary advance to complete the deal.
Now the headache of Tebowmania vs. Mark Sanchez can begin. The deal for Tebow is mute testimony that the Jets front office clearly has little to no faith that Sanchez is their starting quarterback, but, even if that is not the case, they could have handled it a lot better than bringing the circus to town. What an embarassing, but typical, day in the history of the New York Jets.
