Source: Tim Tebow earns $250K bonus (+video)
ESPN ^ | 1-9-12 | Adam Schefter

*snip*

Tebow has an escalator of $250,000 in his contract for each playoff victory assuming he participated in at least 70 percent of Denver's plays during the requisite season, according to an NFL source.

Being that he played 73 percent of Denver's plays this season, Tebow cashed in on a quarter-million salary escalator after his latest shocker -- an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime Sunday to beat Pittsburgh 29-23 in the wild-card playoffs.

The play, according to Twitter, spawned a record 9,420 tweets per second.

Tebow could earn another $250,000 with another victory Saturday night at New England against the Patriots in a divisional-round game

God love Tim!. When you hear Bayless describe the immense pressure on him, internally and externally, you get the big picture of the huge exhilaration. Such poise. Bayless is over the moon.

He will probably use that quarter-mil to get some 4-year-old kid a new kidney.

I’ve no doubt he’ll put it to good use for others.

He’ll probably spend most of the money on wine, women, and song, and then waste the rest.

Not.

is there a replay of the touchdown somewhere in that 12 min clip? I can't take those talking fools, especially gayless.

Tebow by all appearances loves the Lord and really really wants to play football.
Good for him.
In the spiritual I applaud him, in the secular I want him to crush to competition.

...worth every penny.

How can anyone argue against the value of a quarterback leading their team to the playoffs? Consider this “merit pay”.

He deserves every penny and more - The “Tebow” Jersey sales alone are probably netting the Broncos $5 million in royalties!

Amen!

Tebow’s game-winner sets Twitter record

In capitalism, you are paid for the value you bring to your employer.

The Broncos made out better than Tebow in this case.
Tebow has just made the Broncos into “America’s team”
