just heard this...

congrats to Alex Smith

sorry Tebow

I think he really wanted to be in the AFC cuz he turned down am almost guarantee of a SB with SF.

And this probably breaks the psyche of Alex Smith.

Where does Tim Tebow go from here tho? Jax already signed Henne. Do you think Miami would go after him to attract more fans? Plus they have unresolved QB issues.

Here's what is being said on ESPN:

No contract is completed, but Peyton told his agent to start working on a contract with the Broncos, and he called Elway to tell him he's looking forward to playing for him, he's going to be a Bronco, probably on a 3 year deal.

Denver is going to try and trade Tebow.

Manning says his head told him to go to San Fran but his heart told him to go to the Broncos.

John Elway has to be the happiest man in Denver right now. Bring in a HOF QB while doing what he has always wanted to do in getting rid of Tebow without pissing off Tebowmaniacs.

This is genius by Elway, the only way you can get rid of Tebow without fan backlash is to bring in someone like Manning.

you would think that with his neck issues that signing on to a team with a track record of over the last 5-6 season of being an elite pass blocking team made the most sense but good luck to him and the broncos.

Sucks for Timmeh. Other than that...

I don't think they're anywhere near a final contract.

I saw that it's probably going to be a 3 year deal.

Peyton is dumb.

-p.tiddy- · 03-19-2012, 12:31 PM

Jacksonville and Dolphins main contenders for Tebow

Florida Gator love...he would be worshiped on both teams

Denver isn't even a good team. Good luck Peyton.

Yes they are.

They made the playoffs with Tim Tebow at QB.

I think they're fairly decent, but when the other option was a superbowl ready team WITHOUT YOU, it's a little strange he wouldn't go there.
