Woody Johnson said trading for Tim Tebow was not his idea

Tim Tebow 'forced' on New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, Ted Sundquist says - ESPN New York

Former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist, who interviewed for the job nine days ago, said Johnson told him it wasn't his idea. Sundquist said it was his impression that the trade was "forced" on Johnson and team president Neil Glat, who also participated in the interview.

Sundquist's description of the interview makes it sound as though Johnson was blaming former GM Mike Tannenbaum for the Tebow debacle; in a sense, Johnson did exactly that, firing Tannenbaum one day after the regular season ended.

How easy to blame the guy who is no longer here.

Well, Tebow got paid so he can retire as the greatest QB with less than 10 starts to ever play the game to persue his true calling... Motivational speaking......

This is from a NY Post article:

The story they tell is general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan came up with the idea over ice cream at Newark Airport. Two days later, Tebow was a Jet, costing the team a fourth-round draft pick and $2.5 million to the Broncos for money they had already paid Tebow.

I guess they both ordered Rocky Road

Wasn't he the guy who said Tebow would be here for the duration of his contract and that you could never get enough Tebow?
