Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos Agree on Five Year, $33 Million Contract

The most decorated college football player of the last decade, perhaps in the history of the game at the collegiate level, has officially agreed to his first NFL contract.
Tim Tebow, the Broncos' second first round pick agreed to a five year contract on Thursday, according to the team's official site. The deal is reportedly worth $33 million over that time frame with $8.7 million guaranteed per Michael Lombardi. Tebow was the 25th selection in April's draft after a four year career at Florida in which he became one of the most popular and successful male athletes in the entire world.
Tebow's acquisition means the Broncos have only one draft pick left unsigned, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. At last word, Thomas' deal was making great progress and there is a chance it could also be finalized Thursday.
**UPDATE**Tebow deal reportedly worth $11.25 million over five years, but can escalade to $33 million with specific incentives and accomplishments.
What can be said of Tim Tebow that has not already been said?
Tebow is an extremely hard working player who has become a sports icon in Denver without even putting on a set of pads yet (which he will do on Sunday). The Broncos used three draft picks (2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounders) to trade back into the first round of the draft to select Tebow, the former Florida star.
Josh McDaniels has raved about Tebow, but has made it clear that Tebow has a long way to go, which is understandable.
Scouts have never questioned Tebow's work ethic, toughness, ability to create something out of nothing, or his arm strength. The major concern for Tebow has been his slow release, which by all accounts has been worked on all offseason long and now appears much better than before. Tebow has also been doing a lot of work this offseason to improve his footwork, which was another area he struggled with.
Tebow impressed all scouts with a fantastic display of athleticism at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, and rumors began to fly of a darkhorse team that would not let Tebow escape the first round.
The Broncos manipulated the draft boards and managed to get both of their top two targets at the bottom half of the round while collecting additional later picks.
Upon being drafted, Tim Tebow jerseys flew off the racks and set numerous records. Someone even invented a completely new brand entirely dedicated to Bronco and Florida Gator fans.
Aside from his insane popularity, the Broncos obviously expect Tebow, the 25th pick in the draft, to have a huge impact on this team sooner rather than later.

Yes!!!!!!!
Step aside, my friend, I been doin' it for years.
Said sit on down, open ya eyes, say open up ya ears....
Tebow will get a five-year contract worth between $11.5 million and $12 million. The guarantee will be in excess of $8 million.
There had been a report the contract had a max value of $33 million but that includes difficult to reach incentives.
where did you hear that
I like the hard to reach incentives from a building a team aspect
but that is some big differences

If he can earn that 33 mil….. wow. Has anyone seen Tebow fail at something he set his mind to?

now work on the issues listed and we’ll see what you can do at the pro level. i just hope he is given the time needed and not rushed because of expectations/draft status.
I think bay Bay is more important to this year and the one I really want there on Sunday.
Not to say this isn’t very good new and good work by Xanders.

agree, agree, and agree
We have him for 5 years, and I expect each successive one to pay higher and higher dividends. Way to go front office, his agent, and TT! I have a little patience for Tim’s influence, but look to THIS YEAR for Bay-Bay to have a big impact.

Amazingly prescient
Great article and you nailed it, even from 12 months ago. I’m proud to be a Bronco fan these days as the team is full of good athletes with great attitudes.
Gloat all you want
You deserve it. I was a Tebow fan when he was in college and saw him as the second coming of Johnny Unitas, my favorite QB when I was growing up. But I bow to you because I stepped back a little after the Alabama game, the Bowl game, and the unbelievable media criticism. You didn’t. But its all good. Without all the negative stuff, the Broncos likely would not have been able to get him. I hope he pans out like we think he will. Of course, you will have to read this tomorrow because you are probably 10 quick shots into happy hour by now.
kudos, but
I wish you could extract the Hansbrough reference. Great foresight on Tebow, and I hope you’re right….but that Hansbrough prognostication gives me indigestation.
Of course unless by “consistent” you meant consistently 10 ppg and 5 rpg for his bb life.
Sorry, dont mean to take away from your moment:) just had to put my cents in about the Hansbrough remark.

Tebow is in the right situation here with Orton ahead of him and no pressure to put him in to start right away
I think this is about the right perspective:
http://thebullgator.blogspot.com/2010/07/tim-tebow-signs-5-year-33-million-deal.html
…The deal at its base is worth $11.25 million – with $8.7 million guaranteed. If Tebow reaches certain milestones over the course of the contract, he can reach that $33 million. Not a bad deal for a rookie who will be given the time and tools to one day succeed as a starter in the NFL….
…With a contract agreed to, Tebow can concentrate on his life as a Denver Bronco. With a playbook to learn and new schemes to get used to, it was important for Tebow to get to practice as soon as he could. Now he has the opportunity to learn the offense and get accustomed to the speed of the pro game. As a Gator, Tebow could use his strength to push by would be tacklers. In the NFL, those tacklers are bigger, stronger, and faster. He’ll need every moment he can get as he grows….
…but he doesn’t have to save the Broncos tomorrow. Tebow has time. Time to learn the game at the next level. Time to adjust to better defenses. Time to improve his mechanics and refine his abilities. He may not look like a starting NFL quarterback right now, but he’ll be given every chance to get himself there. I’m basically saying, don’t doubt him.

Agree about time to learn.
Aside from his insane popularity, the Broncos obviously expect Tebow, the 25th pick in the draft, to have a huge impact on this team sooner rather than later.
There is nothing in the contract or any of the supporting info that supports this statement. Tebow is being paid like a well-paid backup QB, which is probably a good balance of his current skill and a premium for his future potential. But nothing in that deal makes me think this means Orton is leaving (or that Tebow will supplant him) anytime soon…
Awesome news.
Thanks Bronco management for getting this taken care of. Now time to get Thomas taken care of so that everyone can focus on camp and getting ready for the season.

Tebowman!
I don’t know how you guys felt about him in college, but I was a “hater”. I hated the fact we had to hear about him all the time. I hated that the Gators were marching through football and basketball.
Draft day had my head spinning, I knew that after we started moving and shaking and then drafted Thomas..we were onto something else. Tebow came to my head and I couldn’t believe it, we drafted him in my head before we traded with NE.
In the days to follow I learned a lot about this man. I knew a bit before but now I was learning the un bias good (great) side of him. Jim Rome plays a clip of an announcer saying “One Minute with Tebow and your a changed person forever”.
I say “One draft with Tebow and your a changed fan forever”! Good luck Tim Tebow! May you get a better contract before this one has any chance to become 33 Mil!
GO BRONCOS!!
People love to hate winners...
Although I want you guys to lose a lot of games for many years to come, I will always root for tim, just not against my chiefs. I was pretty pissed draft day when he went to an AFC west team.
Hey...How'd everyone get in my room?
Tebow / McD haters
Amazing how polarizing Tebow is?
Seems like whenever I talk to casual NFL fans, there’s a lot of Tebow hate out there. Like they all KNOW he will not succeed in the NFL. To them, it is a absolute truth that he will not succeed. No chance. Maybe at some other position than QB.
Here’s what I know. He was one of the greatest players in college football. And yes, he liked to run the ball. But he was also a damn good passer. My gut says, at worst, he’ll be a serviceable NFL quarterback. But why don’t his previous accomplishments tell EVERYONE that this kid has a chance at greatness??
Funny thing is, most of the haters also hate McDaniels. I say, let’s see how the next two seasons play out. Another 8-8 or better, and Josh just rebuilt the Broncos without suffering through several horrid seasons like a few other teams I could mention with much more mainstream QB picks…
So I see you rolled your way into the semis?

The thing about the past is
That Colt McCoy should have gone in the first round, and he should be a Pro Bowler, he played a similar style of game in Texas, he was an overall better passer and still a good runner. He is smart, accurate, a leader and hard worker and has similar arm strength and a better release then Tebow, downside, he’s too small. So really, I’d personally take McCoy over Tebow, but I accept we have Tebow, and an looking forward to what he can do, but I don’t base NFL success on college success.

I'm a huge fan of contracts that are incetive driven
I am also outspoken against the rising rookie wage scale in the NFL. Compared to Stafford’s money he made, Tebow’s not to bad, but you have to realize that Orton, our starter with a winning career record and 6 years of experience hasn’t made as much as Tebow in any year of his contracts, and one year of Tebow’s current contract is actually more then what Orton made the first three years of his contract combined, where he earned $520,000 per season till 2008, when he got a little raise.
I’m not against Tebow signing, actually I’m quite happy, if he’d missed camp, I’d be pretty pissed, but I am against giving a player who hasn’t done jack more money then the guy who will likely be starting next season. That’s why I support contracts that are incentive driven, you play well, you get that bonus, you sit, you get less. I just don’t think it’s right he should get paid more then Orton to sit.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
Im with you on incentives contracts
Matt Stafford this year will make more money than Dwight Howard, Eli Manning, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and even Albert Haynsworth (although most of his ridiculous contract was in the first year bonus) still freaking ridiculous, hopefully whatever CBA gets banged out puts more into a low rookie wage scale with incentives
by Warren Todd on Jul 30, 2010 2:58 AM MDT via mobile up reply actions
Yeah
But Stafford’s salary plus his 18 million dollar bonus this year is 27 million alone, plus almost 2 million extra from endorsments, Haynsworth plus his 21 million dollar bonus is ‘only’ 24.5 million, plus about 150,000 in endorsments. But you’re right it was this year
by Warren Todd on Jul 30, 2010 10:24 AM MDT via mobile up reply actions
Can you let me know where you got Staffords #‘s from? I have looked around a little and can’t find too much.
I know his “42[?]” million guaranteed isn’t really guaranteed, he misses out on a fair amount if he gets cut in 12/13. His signing bonus was also given, but over a three year period. His real “guarantee” was only 17 million if I recall.
I think the rookie scale is ridiculous in the first round [I don’t mind the pay after the first round].
I am also leery of incentive contracts. Look at TO, you give him a 2 M salary plus 2M in incentives if he reaches goals. What are the goals? Catches, Yards, TD’s. When is TO a PITA? It’s when he is complaining about not getting Catches, Yards, and TD’s. I would give him a contract that is 3M and no incentives. I would rather take my chances with him that way rather than having a carrot at the end of the catch stick.

Incentives make players step up their game if they want more money
You play harder, you get more money, you reach these goals, you get more money. Sounds like a good system to me.

I'm really tired of the Orton's got a winning record argument
I get that means at any level much less at the NFL level. However, it still doesn’t change the fact that Orton’s accuracy for anything farther than ten yards is bad. Orton gets paid the way he does because of his level of play.

That's crap
Orton can outplay Tebow right now, yet he’s getting paid less then Tebow. He could probably out play Stafford and Sanchez, yet he’s not making that kind of money, your thought process is off there.

Orton vs Tebow contracts
… is all about opportunity costs for future “potential” and CBA leverage.
It has nothing to do with the actual performance, or relative merits of the 2 players. If you put them in the same contextual situation, my guess is Orton makes more money (though it’ll be close because of Tebow’s big “future potential” premium, if you allowed longer than 1 year contracts…).
Teams play a premium on 1st round picks due to the potential of finding the next HOFer… a lot of that is lost money, but you have to pay it to get the opportunity to claim that potential, which is why the rookie payscale developed as it did. Tebow and the other 1st rounders collectively benefit from that.
Orton was unfortunate to get caught in a situation where the CBA gave him no leverage. The NFLPA agreed to the last CBA because the combination of salary cap and rules (RFA, etc.) gave them the best opportunity to maximize their revenue as a collective (vs. striking, etc.). If the 4-yr RFA rules hadn’t been superceded by the opt-out clause of the owners, Orton would be making significantly more money… but he had no leverage so he’s not… thats the price of the CBA.
And that's what I'm saying
You are paying a guy whose never take a snap a lot of money on potential. Even if Stafford has a decent career, or Sanchez or Ryan, or any early 1st round quarterback, they would be overpaid. You have to be a All-Pro, Pro Bowl, league leader to deserve the money most of them are making.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
by maxwellsdemon on Jul 30, 2010 12:17 PM MDT up reply actions
yep..
However, that even if the salaries weren’t slotted… say for some reason 1st rounders were all considered UFA’s… I think you would still see similar salaries for many of the top prospects.
You imply that the high rookie salaries are a market failure. But while I think that is definitely true in individual cases (e.g. no one would’ve paid Jake Long his salary, even though he’s really great), for most QBs and in particular for the vast majority of picks after ~#6 or 8, the current system probably saves the teams a bunch of money overall from what they would pay the rookies under a free market. As fans we hate the “busts”… but few comment on the players like Clady, Cutler, Tebow, etc. that are well-paid as rookies, but still being totally jobbed by the rookie salary scale from what they could get in a “free” market simply because of “potential” (not to mention a few years down the line as RFAs like Orton, etc.).
High rookie salaries and “potential” premiums are simply the cost of doing business… as the competition for a limited HOF-caliber talent pool is intense.
Now all that being said, I think rookie deals should capped at 2 years in length with RFA until maybe year 4… teams would reduce rookie salaries accordingly, because it wouldn’t lock away the top talent for such a long time… you’d only be paying them for their expected early career performance. The players that pan out like Clady, etc. get resigned for big bucks (or stolen away by other teams more willing to pay the price), and the damage of the Jamarcus the Hutts would be limited to the teams that “miss” on their high picks.
The downside is that top prospects get hurt in year 1 or 2, and never get their payday…. so it probably needs accompanied by better player insurance benefits, etc.
Some good thoughts
But the market price for top picks, especially quarterbacks, is rapidly rising without good reason. The price doesn’t need to be that high, but cause of the high prices of the past 2-3 drafts, players feel they deserve that kind of money, even when it has never been that high. A overpaid #1 pick affects countless picks in later drafts.

Exactly.
If the NFL is such a business, rookies need to be paid what they’re actually worth. You pay for potential in Vegas. You pay for results in a business.
-Harvey J. Neptune
"Practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect." - Vince Lombardi
No no no no no...
We in society pay for “potential” all the time.
Stock IPOs often far exceed actual earnings of the company, people line up to buy new versions of Iphones (even when no one knows that signal strength could suck), businesses open new stores in relatively unknown markets all the time, and big blockbuster movies are made for 100s of millions of dollars… all on the “potential” of it being a hit. If every person and business besides Vegas paid ONLY for performance, we’d never have a new store open in a small town, or a new business open with an innovative product (that may not have a market), etc.
Potential is a HUGELY valuable commodity to an NFL franchise, and EVERY SINGLE TEAM has to be willing to pay for it if they want long term success. If NFL teams were unwilling to pay for anything but performance, all the contracts for FAs would be 100% completely incentive laden. In fact, the NFL is probably paying the least for “potential” than every other sports league on the planet due to the lack of guarunteed contracts.
All paying for “potential” means is that teams share part of the risk of developing a new player into their scheme. Becuase they take on that risk, they end up paying much less overall than if contracts were simply based on the number of touchdowns scored, etc.
Put it this way… Peyton Manning is up for his new contract, but Indy says "we are no longer willing to pay for your “potential” performance and from now on will only pay for actual performance. So we’re willing to pay you $750k for every touchdown you throw"… Now Peyton could easily throw 40 TDs and make $30mil… but my guess is he’d INSTANTLY go to any other team in the NFL that is willing to give him a guarunteed salary of $15-17million/year… because then the risk is shared. Is the team that gives him that guaruntee stupid? I mean, Peyton could blow at his shoulder and never throw another pass, or he could not mesh with his new scheme/teammates and only throw 10 TDs…
The exact same thing applies for rookies… sure we have less data on how their performance will translate onto the NFL field… but each of those rookies (particularly the 1st rounders) also has the potential to be the next Elway, Jerry Rice, Ray Lewis, or other G.O.A.T. player at their position…. and teams have to willing to pay the price for that “potential”.
Peyton Manning, through his success, has probably been worth a $1billion dollars to the Indy franchise…. why wouldn’t a team be willing to invest $50mill into a top rookie QB prospect to have a shot at that return on investment? The team will recoup a huge portion of that back simply on jersey and tix sales that those top prospects bring by firing up the fanbase…. add in the fact that draft slotting of the salaries also means you’ll likely underpay every other draft pick that year, and this seems like far from the huge market failure some folks portray.
Basically, if you want to play the game, you have to pay the ante… in vegas or in life. This is true even if you may end up drawing garbage from the deck…
Now I’m fully cognizant of the impact that the high rookie salaries can have when those top picks don’t pan out… there truly is IMO a “losers curse” where there is disproportionate risk placed on the top-6-8 picks… and my solution to that is laid out above…. but its very hard for me to say that the draft salary system in general is underpaying rookies in aggregate… its just overpaying a few and underpaying many.
To me, it is more that there is a risk allocation failure that means the teams picking at ~#10 have a much greater risk/reward portfolio than teams drafting before them… but then, they don’t even have a shot at the top QB prospects (P. Manning) that can single handedly change a franchise for a decade, so maybe thats okay.
Well
Tebow’s in camp. Marvelous! Now, let’s get Demaryius in here. The Broncos are getting ready for a successful season.

First Round Pick or not,
I was absolutely shocked at first, to not see Tebow signed before the rookies reported. But now looking at the incentive-laiden contract it makes sense. They must have been busting their behinds to get such a complicated and heavy contract done that fast. If it had been anybody else it would probably have taken weeks to hash out. I bet Tebow compromised on several things just so he could get into camp and get to football. So he’s two days late to camp, fine with me. They got the deal done and he’s there before camp really goes hot. Can’t wait to see the team this Sunday! Woohoo! TC here I come!
