Reply With QuoteSo the Jets had to kick in $2.53 million plus the 4th and 6th round picks. The Broncos give Tebow and a 7th round. I think the Jets are idiots.
The Broncos and Jets have worked things out. Tebow will be a Jet, after all.
It appears to have been Tebow's decision. Good on John Elway for giving him the chance to choose between the Jets and Jaguars.

Idiots? Sounds pretty cheap for a playoff-winning QB.Originally Posted by PLATO

Wait, I thought they already overpaid for their playoff-winning QB...
Force of habit, I guess. That team is a circus.

Well I just know I'm going to be torn in every direction by this. ****... Sanchez and Tebow on the same team? Like how can I root for Tebow and Tebow getting a starting job if it means putting Sanchez on the bench. ****.

Let's make this easier for you. Sanchez sucks.

That may not help much under the circumstances, really.

That would make it easier except for the fact that Tebow sucks too. The old adage of "I'd rather be lucky than good" was made for Tebow. To bad Vegas doesn't have a team...he could have been a star!

Sanchez is neither lucky nor good, so...?

I would say that he must be very lucky considering the contract extension he just got.
The OT at APOLYTON is like watching the Special Olympics. Certain people try so hard to debate despite their handicaps.
Baron O RIP.
In that regard, yeah.

Actually since Mike Tannenbaum became GM in 2006, he has been pretty good on all his trades:Jets:

That's a pretty solid track record better than most teams'. The Edwards, Sheppard, and Favre trades were the bad ones but they were high potential reward trades that hardly damaged the franchise when they didn't pan out.March 2007: Acquired Thomas Jones & 2nd-round pick from Bears for 2nd-round pick
February 2008: Acquired Kris Jenkins from Panthers for 3rd & 5th-round picks
August 2008: Acquired Brett Favre & 7th-round pick from Packers for 3rd-round pick
February 2009: Acquired Lito Sheppard & 5th-round pick from Eagles for 5th-round pick and 2010 4th-round pick
October 2009: Acquired Braylon Edwards from Browns for Chansi Stuckey, Jason Trusnik & 3rd and 5th-round picks
March 2010: Acquired Antonio Cromartie from Chargers for 2nd-round pick
April 2010: Acquired Santonio Holmes from Steelers for 5th-round pick
March 2012: Acquired Tim Tebow & 7th-round pick from Broncos for 4th & 6th-round picks
