it seems that some organizations just don't get it. a 4th and 6th rd pick for a back-up qb? okay more insulting the intelligence of jet fans and not solving the problem. this move will keep the jets as the bride's maid and not the bride.

hopefully the nfl will spare the jets from this "pr circus" and nix this deal while sending him to the rams as reported by nfl network.
this is just as bad as sending a private jet to pick up rich kotite back in the day. just dumb.

What? How did the Rams get into this?

[LeonhardSkynyrd36]

do your research, there was a 5 million dollar debt to tim tebow.... the jets and broncos never discussed whom was going to pay said 5 million....

if they cannot agree the trade will be nullified.

[SecondHandJets]

We all know about the $5M, BUT HOW ARE THE RAMS INVOLVED?!

[LeonhardSkynyrd36]

he would go back to denver and then they could trade him to whomever they wanted... its really that simple

Tim Tebow trade encounters snag

After word spread rapidly Wednesday that the New York Jets had acquired quarterback Tim Tebow from Denver for draft picks, the teams have encountered a hang-up in the language in Tebow's contract that could nullify the trade, a Broncos source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.

In Tebow's contract is a $6.2 million salary advance, of which $1.2 million already has been paid by Denver, sources told Schefter. The difference of $5 million is still advanced against his future salary, and that burden would shift to the Jets in a trade. The Jets, sources said, believe the Broncos should owe Tebow that money.

The trade, then, will not be finalized until the sides resolve their differences over which should pay the money coming to Tebow.

The teams agreed to the terms of the trade -- the Jets dealt fourth-round and sixth-round selections in 2012 in exchange for Tebow and a 2012 seventh-rounder from Denver -- before the Broncos asked New York to pay back a portion of bonuses and salary already paid to Tebow, sources told Schefter.

One league source said he believes the Broncos-Jets trade will go through. Sources also said that, if the trade falls apart, the St. Louis Rams could be in play for Tebow because the Rams do not have issues with Tebow's contract that New York does.

The same money issues in Tebow's contract also caused complications for Jacksonville trying to complete a trade for Tebow earlier, sources told Schefter.

So basically we had an agreement and then after that denver was like hey BTW we advanced tebow an extra 5 mil for time he hans't played and we want you to pay it now? WTF?

it was reported by nfl network that the rams were in discussion with the broncos. if the jet deal falls thru then this team may re-open negotiations with the broncos. it seems now that it's the jets who may nix the deal before it goes to the league level.

don't kill the messenger, because the nfl network is speculating like everyone else.
either way tebow is still a bum at the q.b. position and gimmicks don't win championships.
this ain't college and 2 qb systems in any capacity has never won on the pro level.
but some jet fans love suffering...

If he's here purely to fight stanton for the #2 spot and get maybe 1-2 wild cat snaps a game thats fine by me, If we don't get him I don't care personally.

jets should keep their picks and draft better. perhaps they wouldn't even be caught in an embarrassing situation like this.

Jaguars vs. Jets in race to acquire Tim Tebow

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Tim Tebow trade is expected to "come down to" either the Jaguars or the Jets.
The Rams are out of the mix. Tebow remains property of the Broncos at this moment, but that should change soon. Due to the holdup caused by language in Tebow's contract, the Jets are in danger of losing out on a trade they went so far as to announce on their club website's Twitter page. The Jaguars are apparently willing to pay the $5 million kick-back option required to acquire Tebow.

[reg83ny]

I heard a bunch of teams read the contract and backed out. Not our front office. They actually tweeted it. Nobody wants to pay and extra $5 mil for Teblow. Dumb a$es..

[Chaos]

Hopefully the Jets lose out on Tebow.
