In the words of the immortal Dave Caldwell "Even if he was released"

Even if he was released was 2013. In 2012 was when the Broncos signed Manning and put Tebow on the trade Tebow. 

Khan badly wanted Tebow and directed Gene Smith to put together a trade package. It came down to the Jets and the Jags. The trade packages were basically even so the Broncos gave Tebow the choice to pick. He ended up picking the Jets because he said he got the feeling the coaching staff wanted him more. 

It definitely came super close to happening.

I never bought that story. He's from Jacksonville it seems really odd to think he would have chosen to be traded to the Jets when everyone was already pretty certain Gabbs wasn't gonna ever make it.

He would have had a legitimate chance of being the best QB on the roster (thats just how bad Blaine was) and he would have been in his home town?
