Finally, an organization that is more stupid than ours!

http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/2012/03/21/tebow-trade-finalized/12725/

I wondered why the Broncos never announced their trade with the New York Jets.


The Broncos and Jets agreed to a trade that sent Denver quarterback Tim Tebow and a seventh-round draft pick to New York in exchange for a fourth- and sixth-round draft pick.


The Jets even announced the trade on their twitter feed. And th-e-e-e-e-e-n someone in Jets’ management decided to look at Tebow’s contract. The Jets were apparently in too much rush to make a news splash for their New York tabloids. They didn’t look at Tebow’s contract until after agreeing to the deal.


Would you buy a home without an inspections?


The contract says any team acquiring Tebow has to kick back $5.06375 million to the Broncos in advanced salaries from the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons, according to an NFL source.


Tebow received $6,277,500 million as advances from salaries in 2011 ($1,213,750); 2012 ($1,425,000); 2013 ($1,691,250) and 2014 ($1.92 million). Broncos paid the 2011 advance (and got their money’s worth as Tebow led them from a 1-4 start under Kyle Orton to the playoffs). But as Tebow would be a Jet today with completion of trade, Jets would be assigned Tebow’s contract.


The Broncos paid the advance, but the 2012, 2013 and 2014 salaries still go to team that gets Tebow’s services.


The Broncos expect the Jets to pay them back those salary advances from 2012-14 per Tebow’s contract. The Jets are balking. There is a decent chance this deal may die.

If it's dead who will go for him now..............
 
Well that just means the Broncos will be forced to cut him cause I don't see anyone trading for him and then paying the Broncos on top of that. So it looks as though the Jets won't get him, he wouldn't sign there on his own free will. He'll probably end up in Jacksonville.

Well, your front office just managed to turn the trick. They actually traded for a player and announced a trade without reading the player's contract. It doesn't GET any dumber than that.
 
Yeah, are the Jets the bigger dummy on this or are the Broncos? Everyone assumes the Jets for not knowing the specifics of the contract (which I agree). But the Broncos stand to lose two draft picks and someone to take Tebow. Jax might have interest in him, but probably nowhere near what the Yets were willing to give. I'll laugh if they are forced to settle for a 5th round pick or worse because they tried to pull a fast one.
 
Yes the Jets are looking bad.... And also dont forget the Saints, they just got hit with a hell of a fine by Godell.
