The Jets And Broncos Agree: Tim Tebow Was Not Worth A First-Round Draft Pick
After picking Tim Tebow in first round of the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos have shipped him and a seventh-round pick in the upcoming draft to the Jets for their fourth- and sixth-round picks.

After a Jets beat writer tweeted, "I've been told that the Jets have legitimate interest in acquiring Tim Tebow," Antonio Cromartie responded quickly. This should have worried Jets brass.
