NEW YORK CITY, NY - In an unexpected move Wednesday, Almighty God negotiated a deal with the Denver Broncos to trade quarterback Tim Tebow - one of the Lord's most ardent followers - to the New York Jets.
Tebow, who was released from The Bronco's roster following the team's acquisition of former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, was made aware of the trade-off yesterday morning in a brief conversation with "the big man upstairs."
"It is my calling," said the 24-year-old. "The Lord spoke to me and told me to forget about heading down to Florida; you're heading to NYC, baby!"
Additionally, God is reportedly in heavy negotiations with both the Broncos and The Jets to finalize Tebow's $5m salary advances.
However, while offering his undying gratitude to The Almighty, Tebow insisted that he's not thinking about the financial rewards, stating that "being part of a team and challenging for honors" is what it's all about.
"For me, it was never about the money," he said. "It was just about staying true to The Almighty and trusting in Him. If he says I should be locked into a $70m 5-year contract, who am I to argue?"
