Report: Manning signing could send Tebow to Jaguars
If Peyton Manning ends up in Denver, Tebowmania reportedly could find a new home base in Jacksonville.
With an ESPN report indicating the Denver Broncos are Manning's preferred choice, another report has surfaced that current Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow would then be traded.
Citing a "source close to the team," profootballtalk.com reported the Broncos could trade Tebow and indicated the Jacksonville Jaguars were working to land him.
Tebow became a national sensation last year as his late-game theatrics, often built on his running ability, led the Broncos to the AFC West title and a playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tebow was 7-4 as a starter and rushed for 660 yards and six touchdowns. But he completed just 46.5 percent of his passes, and threw for 1,729 yards with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions.
The University of Florida alum could be a drawing card, though, for Jacksonville, which watched rookie Blaine Gabbert and Luke McCown struggle at quarterback last year.
The Jaguars released David Garrard before the season-opener and Gabbert started 14 games for the 5-11 Jaguars, throwing for 2,214 yards, 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He posted just a 65.4 passer rating.
McCown went 1-1 in his two starts, but had a 39.0 rating after throwing for 296 yards and four interceptions without a touchdown in four games.
Tebow did not comment on his situation with the Broncos during his appearance at a fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior project in Tampa, Fla., on Saturday.
