ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Jets have discussed trading for Tim Tebow, "even if it's considered a longshot."


The wording is interesting in the light of a Monday report from ESPN New York that the chances of the Jets aggressively pursuing Tebow are "a long shot at best." It sounds like the Jets brass, beaten by Tebow in a dramatic finish last season, have at least kicked the idea around internally.

ummm how can i describe this... f*** NO!!!

[Smedsthejet]

If it's considered such a long shot, why is it even news? It probably just passed in informal conversation after they read Manning had signed with the Broncos.

He'll end up in San Francisco, nothing to worry about here

Not in a million years.

They love Kapernick, no reason to tinker with his development.

[MikeGangGreenFan2]

Watch the Dolphins f*** up and trade pick 9 for tebow!

[MoMilk1991]

Discussing it(because Tebow became available) is far different from offering anything for Tebow.

Also read as, nothing f***ing happened.

I wouldnt give up a 7th for him. His only value is getting fans in the stands and he's probably only got about 3 seasons until he's lost that ability as well. The guy has everything you'd want to have in a starting qb except for the ability to play the position.

Fullback?

Fullback who can throw. Not the worst idea right?

[Jetsman05]

Good locker room guy.

We don't allow those.

[Tebow15]

Tebow: "You think this loss is bad, wait until I take your job."

Sanchez: Gasp!Just when I thought my Peyton problems were over, he still makes me lose my spot.

[NY=#1]

if he comes to just replace brad smith on offense, i wouldnt have to much of a problem with it, but overall HELL NO.

[SecondHandJets]

Tebow to the Jets for Wayne Hunter and Bart Scott! Lets do it!

































And then flip Tebow to Jacksonville for a 4th.

[Mr_Jet]

I could just imagine the Jets locker room after a victory. Rex dropping f bombs all over the place and Tebow standing next to him with his hands covering his ears and humming some Christian rock song.


The last thing this team needs is more hype and attention, which is all Tebow would bring.

haha that would be kind of awesome

in all seriouness
if you can get tebow for a 7th rounder or some throw away pick of a trade it would make for good value

the kid is going to hustle his ass off. why roll the dice on trying to land a FB in the 7th round when you can potentially get tebow to run for you on a 3rd and short. the kid can be utilized and if its for cheap then of course a team will consider it.

Two sources have confirmed to ESPN New York that the Jets' interest in Tim Tebow has "intensified."

The Jets have reportedly gone from "lurking on the periphery of the trade talks" to in the thick of them. A team source confirmed to ESPN New York the potential move would at least in part be an effort to heal the Jets' fractured locker room. "Bringing in a guy like (Tebow) would help," the source said. "It makes perfect sense." In reality, adding a polarizing personality like Tebow could serve to further divide Gang Green, and would certainly put even more pressure on embattled starter Mark Sanchez. A league source has also confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter the Dolphins are "not likely" to make a move for Tebow. Mar 20 - 10:51 PM

If Tim Tebow is indeed on the trading block, the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly are set to move quickly to make a deal for him.

Orlando television station WKMG, citing a source close to Tebow, reported late Tuesday night that the Denver Broncos are expected to trade the quarterback to one of those teams as early as midday Wednesday. Denver would receive a third-round draft pick in exchange, according to the report.

WKMG reported that new Jaguars owner Shahid Khan conducted trade negotiations with the Broncos and Tebow's representatives Tuesday night and that talks are expected to resume Wednesday.

The Florida Times-Union reported that the Jaguars have held internal discussions about acquiring Tebow but had not entered formal talks with the Broncos as of Tuesday afternoon.

The Jets' possible interest in Tebow was made known earlier in the evening. A team source told the New York Daily News that the Jets “are players in the Tim Tebow race”. The New York Post reported that the Jets see Tebow as someone who can help repair divisions among players.

Earlier reports said the Jets, Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins and one unidentified team had expressed interest in trading for Tebow.

Tebow’s future has been in question since Monday, when Peyton Manning and the Broncos began work on a five-year deal—the former Colts quarterback officially signed Tuesday. ESPN reported that with Manning in the fold, the Broncos would trade the polarizing Tebow.

The Daily News' report again draws into question just how comfortable the Jets feel at quarterback.

The team expressed interest in visiting with Manning when he was making the rounds as a free agent. After pulling out of the Manning race, the Jets quickly gave incumbent QB Mark Sanchez a five-year, $58.5 million extension—a deal in which the guaranteed money is significantly front-loaded.

Moreover, New York has already signed Drew Stanton to presumably be Sanchez’s backup, and Greg McElroy is the third quarterback.

General manager Mike Tannenbaum said he “feels good about” the Jets’ quarterbacks in an earlier conference call with reporters.

“You never know if other opportunities present themselves,” Tannenbaum added, according to the Daily News. “We’ll always look at it. The standard line there. We feel good about Greg and Drew and Mark. … And we’ll see where we go from there.”

The Daily News pontificates that new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, who successfully ran the Wildcat offense in Miami, could use a player like Tebow to draw up unique packages.

But while the Jets have reportedly had serious internal discussions about Tebow, at least one player thinks the Jets are best off staying put.

Cornerback Antonio Cromartie tweeted the following: “We don’t need Tebow. We sell out every home game let him go to Jacksonville Tampa or Miami.”

Jacksonville may just be where Tebow lands. He's from the area, he was a national champion and a Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Florida, and Khan has said that he would have drafted Tebow two years had he been in charge of the team.

Despite those factors, the Jaguars already have two quarterbacks in newly signed Chad Henne and incumbent starter Blaine Gabbert

A THIRD ROUND PICK?!?!?!

If the Jets trade for Tebow everyone up and down the chain should be fired. Horrible, brainless move.
