NFL Insiders Around The NFL Today

Let's play a hypothetical if the Jets get Tebow. Call me crazy, but I feel like Tim Tebow going to the Jets is like Jesus walking into the depths of hell. Does anyone else have a hard time seeing him and Rex Ryan meshing? It's like Lucifer meets Jesus Christ! I can't imagine that Tebow is happy with this situation he's been forced into now, but he will say all the right things and compete with a smile on his face because that's the type of person he is.

The Jets get a very competitive player who wants to win, but the problem is they already have a divided locker room with no leadership. They proceed to give Sanchez a contract extension during the offseason as a sign of confidence in the young quarterback. While Sanchez thinks he has the organization on his side, they go out and trade for a fan favorite quarterback. Surely they had to see what happened to Kyle Orton in Denver last year. They are being naive to think he will be a wildcat option for them and that's it. The minute Sanchez makes a mistake, the New York faithful will be calling for Tebow. Ryan will have to give in, just like John Fox did last season. As if the team didn't have enough drama going into the year, they just made things much more difficult for themselves.

The Jaguars on the other hand would be a great fit for Tebow. He can easily compete for a starting job with Gabbert, who didn't look real impressive in his first season. He's also a fan favorite in the state of Florida and Jacksonville needs a market boost, which Tebow will easily provide with increased ticket and merchandise sales. There aren't huge expectations yet for the Jags to compete so he will have some time to develop and they can bring in young talent around him. This move definitely makes the most sense, but unfortunately for Tebow, he doesn't have a say in the matter. ***UPDATE*** Apparently Tim Tebow was given his choice by the Denver Broncos to go to the Jaguars or the Jets, and he chose the Jets, says John Elway. Listening to Collin Cowherd earlier today, he claims a reliable source that knows Tebow said he wanted to go to New York so he could be more of a star and gain more publicity. So it sounds like Tebow's decision was based on arrogance and greed. I'm sure his Christian followers will appreciate these motives.

The New Orleans Saints are going to be without the services of their head coach Sean Payton for the entire 2012 season. This is a huge blow to the Saints as they will be losing one of the most creative coaches in the NFL. The league hasn't decided on punishments for the players yet, but the team could easily lose half of their defensive players for the season as well. This could put the Saints at the bottom of the competitive NFC South very quickly.

The team has yet to lock down Drew Brees for the long term, so this could be the push Brees needed to get out of town while the getting is still good. I know the Dolphins passed on you a few years ago, but they are still looking for a quarterback if you're interested! I really don't anticipate Brees going anywhere, but this is going to be a difficult season for him without his head coach and possibly half the defensive unit. This will be something to keep an eye on as the season approaches.

Once a proud franchise led by arguably one of the greatest coaches of all time Don Shula, the Dolphins are now the laughing stock of the NFL. They are the team that people make fun of and players laugh at when asked to come there. The franchise in South Florida courted three quarterbacks within a weeks time and couldn't close the deal on any of them. They had to go outside of the league and grab a guy that's been sitting on the couch for over a year.

This team clearly has issues from the front office on down. Fans have avidly been calling for Ireland's job, but he's still there. Last year veteran players on the team were taking shots at each other publicly and the team could never get off the ground. They now have a new head coach and a rejuvinated running back in Reggie Bush, but they got rid of their best offensive weapon in Brandon Marshall and still have no franchise quarterback. My guess is another five win season in store for the Fins!
