Tim Tebow Will Be with the New York Jets for 3 Years and Other AFC East News

If you really can never have too much Tim Tebow, the New York Jets are in store for a fun three years of not having too much Tebow.

At least, that's what Jets owner Woody Johnson said on CNBC Wednesday morning (hat tip to Bob Glauber of Newsday):

"

Jets owner Woody Johnson on CNBC, asked if Tim Tebow will remain with Jets beyond 2012: "Absolutely. He'll be with us for three years."

— Bob Glauber (@BobGlauber) October 10, 2012"

Tebow has played just 39 snaps since the start of the season, good for only 12.1 percent of the team's total, according to ProFootballFocus.com.

It was once believed his role could be as big as 20 snaps a game, but the Jets have remained devoted to him exclusively as a role player, a change of pace at quarterback. 

How long he remains the change-of-pace QB and not the starter remains to be seen and is dependent on the performance of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Speaking of Sanchez, I find it funny/odd/telling that Johnson hasn't given Sanchez such a vote of confidence.
