Tebow was screwed by Denver — but look at where Denver is thanks to Manning — and screwed again by the Jets. Any idea why they’re holding on to him?
Tebow wasn’t screwed by anybody. Given the fact that he was 3rd on the depth chart in Denver and they let him start anyway that was pretty generous. Then they got a chance to get a QB that can win games AND complete passes and they took in. If anybody got screwed in NY it was Sanchez who suddenly had to deal with an offense that involved pulling him out of the game at random intervals and screwing up his already delicate rhythm.
They’re holding onto him now because the trade deadline was in early November and trades aren’t allowed again until after the Super Bowl. They did trade away 2 draft picks to get him so I don’t see them dumping him on the waiver wire unless they absolutely have to. The question is who is going to bother to pay anything for a player that’s not actually good at his job and his current team clearly doesn’t want him. Especially with the Jags picking second (that also puts them second on the waiver wire). With the team most likely to pick him up in a position to get him for the waiver fee I don’t see the Jets getting anything in trade for him.
