The Tebow trade comes less than 24 hours after the Broncos introduced quarterback Peyton Manning at a press conference in Denver. Even before the ink was dry on Manning's five-year deal with the Broncos, there were various reports about Tebow being traded.

The Jacksonville Jaguars were among the first teams reportedly interested in acquiring the run-first quarterback who took the NFL by storm during the 2011 season with a string of thrilling comeback wins. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Miami and Green Bay were both interested in Tebow, too.

Although Schefter initially been described the Jets as a "longshot" to acquire Tebow, it was later reported by Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that the team's interest in the quarterback the club's interest as legitimate.

On Tuesday evening, WKMG Sports Director David Pingalore in Orlando cited a source close to the player saying that the suitors had been narrowed to the Jets and Jaguars.

Before the Broncos landed Manning, the Jets had indicated interest in the four-time NFL MVP. New York signalled the close of its pursuit by signing quarterback Mark Sanchez to an extension.

"I'm going to be the starting quarterback for the next few years here, and that's exciting," Sanchez said during a conference call with reporters shortly after his deal was announced. "It gives the team just a reminder that I'm the leader of this team."

While the arrival of Manning in New York -- and just about anywhere outside of Foxboro, New Orleans and Green Bay -- would have shuffled up the depth chart, it remains unclear what the Jets' plans are for Sanchez and Tebow. Will Tebow be used in the "wildcat" formation, similar to the way the team deployed dual-threat Brad Smith before he decamped for Buffalo before last season? Will Tebow compete with Sanchez for the starting role? Or will Tebow settle into a traditional back-up role that is not predicated on gadget formations?
