Tebow inks five-year deal with Broncos

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010   No Comment

Former Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow has finally came to an agreement with the Denver Broncos after missing two days of training camp.

Tebow, who was drafted 25th overall, agreed to a five-year deal worth $11.25 million. Tim also recently signed a multi-year contract with Jockey International.

“A few people have said a few things to me about it,” Tebow said with a hearty chuckle. “Actually, Coach McDaniels was the first one to say something to me. But, you know, I’m sure I’ll get some [more] of it, but it’s all in good fun.”

Its going to be real interesting to see Tim on the field. Hes going to be taking several hits on and off the field and hopefully he can help the Broncos with some wildcat offense.

Now that Tebow is signed, there is still one former Gator unsigned and that is Joe Haden who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns. We will keep you posted on Haden.

Maurkice Pouncey signs with Steelers

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010   No Comment

Former Florida Gator center/guard Maurkice Pouncey has signed a five-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier today.

Pouncey was selected no. 18 overall in the 2010 NFL draft and is projected to start at the right guard spot for the Steelers this upcoming season, according to Adam Silverstein.

Pouncey will also be joining Max Starks, the left tackle for Pittsburgh and also former Florida Gator.

Joe Haden, a no. 7 overall pick by the Browns has still not signed and is the only former Gator not to as well. The word on the web earlier this month was that Haden was expected to sign at the end of July. But nothing has happened yet. We will release more information when or if he ends up signing.
