Denver Broncos Win
Denver sent Tim Tebow and a seventh-round pick to the Jets after signing Peyton Manning, receiving two late-round picks in return. The Broncos handled the transition cleanly after signing Peyton Manning, extracting usable draft value for a quarterback who no longer had a path to starting. The sixth-rounder became Danny Trevathan, which gives Denver’s side real hindsight value beyond the headline of moving on from Tebow. The Jets got attention and short-term intrigue, but Denver got the cleaner roster and better long-term football result.
