The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Tebow officially joined the Jets on Saturday at 4 p.m. once his contract was removed from the Broncos salary cap. Now, the fun begins. His first official appearance comes tomorrow at noon when the team will hold an introductory press conference at its headquarters. All of the attention on Tebow has some Jets shaking their heads. Several current Jets, who spoke with The Post on Saturday, asked not to be quoted but expressed disbelief at the team bringing in Tebow. The idea of a backup QB having a press conference is something they can't wrap their heads around, and they know it's just the beginning.

How big is Tebow? As Post staffer Brian Costello notes, the Jets don't even have a room big enough to hold all of the media that will attend. The press conference will take place inside their fieldhouse, where their indoor practice field is. The Jets have never used this area for a press event before. ... Meanwhile, Mark Sanchez, who will be affected more than anyone on the team, has yet to make a public statement. But someone close to him told Costello yesterday that he is handling Tebow's arrival fine. Others around the locker room seem more skeptical. According to Costello, the biggest questions the players have are similar to those fans have expressed this week: How are they going to run two offenses? Why do this if the organization believes in Sanchez? What happens when the home crowd starts chanting for Tebow? The players fear the worst could come this fall with a divided locker room, Sanchez sapped of confidence and Tebow playing a bigger role despite being a lesser passer. Costello summed up: "It is difficult to find anyone outside of GM Mike Tannenbaum and HC Rex Ryan who feels optimistic about this move.
