Enough trolling already and let the adults have a civilized discussion about football.

(He's not)

I'm still interested to see if/when the IRS becomes involved in all of this. Those were large sums of money that Uncle Sam didn't get to touch.

This sounds like a post made by a little girl...adult discussion?

[flames_1987]

Tamme looks like he's the Tight End the Broncos are interested in over Clark.

So now Warren Sapp has accused Jeremy Shockey of being the snitch in the investigation.

Warren Sapp ‏ @QBKILLA : BINGO! RT @elnicastro: Shockey..? RT QBKILLA: Just Heard Who The Snitch Was

[Displaced Flames fan]

This is all falling into place perfectly to make my dream a reality...

-HOF QB gets hurt, misses season causing team to get first overall pick. $28M roster bonus and best QB prospect since HOF QB prompts team to release him. CHECK

-QB from hometown comes out a year early decreasing his draft stock and making him less attractive to teams in the high rounds. CHECK

-HOF QB signs with Broncos. CHECK

-HOF QB makes Brandon Weeden, who the Broncos like, irrelevant due to age. CHECK

-Tebowmania takes the first train out of Denver CHECK

-Denver drafts QB from hometown to backup and be tutored by HOF QB????

From NFL.com

"The Jets’ trade for Tim Tebow might have hit a snag, league sources told NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi.

The Broncos are attempting to recoup $5 million paid out as a bonus on Tebow’s original rookie contract, but money typically isn’t exchanged in this way in trades like this. No team would ever agree to a deal like this, because it would be too complicated, according to Lombardi.

But, according to NFL.com’s Jeff Darlington, Broncos sources contend there’s no reason for the Jets to be able to back away from their decision to trade for Tebow. The Jets agreed to the trade, even announcing it on their official Twitter page, a source said. It’s their problem — not the Broncos’ — that the Jets failed to review the language of Tebow’s contract before agreeing to the trade.

Several other teams, the sources contend, were unwilling to make the trade knowing they’d have to pay nearly $5 million to the Broncos, per the language of Tebow’s original contract. The fact that the Jets didn’t do this, a source says, isn’t the Broncos’ fault"

I still think the Jets win on this trade, a 4th round pick for a 1st round pick is a win in my book

Adam Schefter is reporting on Twitter that the Jaguars are back in and trying to reach a deal with the Broncos

Today is one of those days where having Twitter is a must..

I honestly think Elway is trying to F Tebow as much as he can. Sending him to a team that he won't be able to get a fair shot will ensure Elway doesn't look bad when Manning fails. Obviously you would take Jacksonville's 4th rounder over NYJ.

And you know the Jags are offering a 4th how?

How do you know Jax offered a 4th?

[flames_1987]

Jax refused to pay the money that is in question now as it's been reported all afternoon.

[Mike Vernon]

I guess we will find out....

Cool Story Bro

Adam Schefter reports :

Tim Tebow trade now is expected to come down to either Jaguars or Jets. Jaguars making play to get the player they failed to land earlier.

I still hope Jacksonville, but am starting to wrap my head around New York

I actually do, because Tim, he's a hard worker," Thomas said. "Everybody talk -- about him about he can’t throw and all this. I feel bad about him, he's a hard worker and competitive dude, and I feel like he knows how to win. I don't know what it is, but he always -- there's something about him that he knows how to win and I don't know what's gonna happen with him but I wish him the best of luck and everything.

The only redeeming part of wasting a 1st rounder on Tebow was jersey sales to idiotic Bronco fanboys. Josh McDaniel had many many blunders - using anything more than a 2nd rounder for Tebow was one of them.

Tebow the gimmick in NY? Too good to be true.

Funny how that "knows how to win" quality goes out the window when playing good teams or his kicker isn't hitting 50 yard+ FGs after the other team screws up and hands him the game.
