Tim Tebow Released by Jets

I'm sure Mr. K will be pleased. From NFL.com:
The Tim Tebow error in New York is finally, mercifully over.

NFL.com's Albert Breer reports that Tebow was released by the Jets on Monday morning after one season with the team, according to a source. The New York Post first reported the story. New GM John Idzik insisted on keeping Tebow through the draft in case they could find a trade partner or use for him. After selecting Geno Smith in the second round, Tebow, not Mark Sanchez, is the odd man out.

Tebow threw only eight passes in New York and rushed the ball 32 times. Despite awful quarterback play in front of him, coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano never wanted to use Tebow as a starter. And they had no idea how to use him as a backup. New York wasted a fourth- and sixth-round pick in exchange for Tebow in a trade that smacked of ownership involvement.
