Tim Tebow traded to the NY Jets

DENVER – It’s been a roller coaster ride Wednesday, but the Tim Tebow trade to the New York Jets went through.The Denver Broncos announced the trade Wednesday night, after it was first reported much earlier in the day. But then it hit a snag. The problem was $5 million in advance salary that is part of Tebow’s contract.ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported at about 7 p.m. that the situation had been resolved. “NY has agreed to pay half of the $5 million in compensation back to Denver that was in dispute in Tim Tebow trade,” he says.The Jets get Tebow and a 7th round draft pick and send Denver 4th and 6th round draft picks.“Our goal was to do the best thing for Tim and the Broncos, and I believe the opportunity that presented itself with the New York Jets accomplishes that objective,” Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway said in a statement. “Tim made a lot of strides last year and has a very promising career ahead of him. If anyone is willing to put the work in to be great, it’s Tim Tebow.“I have a great deal of respect for Tim and the positive impact he makes both on the field and in the community. He has a bright future in this league, and I’m hopeful he will enjoy continued success with the Jets.”What do you think of the Tim Tebow trade? Comment here
