NFL: Tebow contract done

[Mr Janny]

Tebow, Broncos agree on five-year contract - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

Not that the Broncos had much of a choice because of where he was drafted, but it seems like an awful lot of money to pay a QB who probably won't start for 3 years. Here's the most interesting part of the article in my opinion:

The signing of Tebow leaves top pick Demaryius Thomas, a wide receiver out of Georgia Tech, as the only unsigned member of Denver's draft class.
Thomas was selected three spots before Tebow, the most intriguing pro prospect since Michael Vick.

First, it will be interesting to see what kind of a contract Thomas will be getting as it compares with Tim's.

And second, is Tim Tebow really the most intriguing pro prospect since Michael Vick? That seems to be a big heaping spoonful of hyperbole as far as I'm concerned.

hes definitely overrated thats for sure...im not sold on his new throwing technique nor do i think he can compete at the nfl level. hes going to be another bust story. hes the next danny wuerfell

If intriguing means curiosity about how he translates to the pro game, then maybe.
If it means "because we know he'll be incredible and can't wait to see it," not so much.

It's very common for the first pick on each team to be the last to sign. 1st round picks are usually signed anywhere from the day before camp to the 2-3rd day of camp.

The Bronco's will earn every penny of Tebow's contract even if he sits on the bench. The guy is a marketing machine. Tewbow's Broncos jersey is the number one selling NFL jersey.
