Tebowmania has officially ended in Denver.
Take a look at Tim Tebow's work on the field during his big 2011 season.
FOXSports.com NFL insider Jay Glazer reports that the Broncos traded quarterback Tim Tebow on Wednesday to the New York Jets for a fourth-round draft choice.
The deal ? which was facilitated by Denver?s signing of Peyton Manning to a five-year, $96 million contract ? spells the end to one of the wildest chapters in the franchise?s 52-year history.
One of the NFL?s most popular players since being drafted by the Broncos in 2010, Tebow was promoted into the starting lineup ahead of the struggling Kyle Orton six games into last season. Although the unorthodox Tebow completed only 46.5 percent of his passes, his penchant for big plays and late-game heroics helped propel Denver to an AFC West title and first-round overtime playoff victory against Pittsburgh. Tebow also helped energize a Broncos fan base that was becoming increasingly frustrated at the franchise?s ineptitude over the previous two seasons.
Tebow, though, didn?t show enough promise as a traditional NFL quarterback to convince Broncos management that he had the potential to become a franchise quarterback. Even after Broncos executive vice president John Elway told FOXSports.com in December that he was looking forward to hands-on work with Tebow during the offseason, Denver quickly entered the bidding for Manning following his release from Indianapolis earlier this month. Manning chose the Broncos over a slew of other strongly interested suitors that included Tennessee, San Francisco, Miami and Arizona.
Tebow has three seasons remaining on his five-year, $9.8 million rookie contract. According to rotoworld.com, Tebow is scheduled to collect a base salary of $1.1 million in 2012.

TEBOW good fit for the Jets and it helps push Sanchez to start delivering as fan base will become frustrated with another 18 picks by Sanchez.
Tebow is a decent fit and possibly a good on football wise for the Jets, they rely on the run and can't pass anyway.
He is a terrible fit for the city of New York. He starts throwing dirt balls and missing open receivers and they will eat him alive. With Denver it was all great cause he had some come back wins and let's face it, Denver had no expectations last year. New York and their fans were pist off last year and expect a turn around. Is that something he can handle? Can he push Sanchez? He does give them another option but just can't see him being the push that puts the Jets over the edge.

Sanchez sucks 78 QBR last year as a drop back passer. Tebow 75 QBR but gives Jets added dimension of running (732 yds ly 7 td) and more importantly defense will feed off his energy and he is a gamer. Tebow will be starter by week 6. Rex just wants to win and if they didn't think this could play out, why make the trade?
