Tebow Traded to Jets
03/21/2012

 NEW YORK (AP) _ Tim Tebow has been traded to the Jets.

     The team said Wednesday it has acquired the polarizing
quarterback from the Broncos. Denver general manager Brian Xanders
says the Broncos will receive fourth- and sixth-round draft picks,
while New York gets a seventh-rounder _ all in 2012.

     The trade first was reported by Fox Sports.

     Denver started shopping Tebow after signing Peyton Manning.

     Tebow is expected to complement starter Mark Sanchez, who
received a $40.5 million contract extension, with $20.5 million
guaranteed, earlier this month. The Jets also had pursued Manning.

     Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs last season _ along the
way beating Sanchez and the Jets, who missed the postseason. But
Denver executive John Elway believed Manning gave the team a better
chance at winning a championship now.
