Tim Tebow may be gone, but that doesn't mean the Jets' quarterback situation is settled. General manager John Idzik said that there's going to be an open competition for the QB spot, including everyone from struggling incumbent Mark Sanchez to backup Matt Simms. Whether the quarterback who starts the season will be the same person who finishes it is another question, but the Jets are keeping what options they have open on all fronts.

• PCassidy2010: "'All 5 QB's will compete for the starting job,' said no team headed in the right direction, ever."
• JDan15: "If you have 5 QB's I would argue that you don't have one QB."
• JohnMosbyGuy: "The sad reality is that Greg McElroy is the best QB in NY right now. "
• ScubaSteve884: "If Geno starts right away, the Jets don't know what they're doing...Oh, wait."
• wvu1980joel: "Open competition at QB should always be the starting point, for every team. Is anyone guaranteed a position? They shouldn't be. Greatness in the previous season doesn't earn you a free ticket in the upcoming season."
• Branko.NMI.Sipina: "As sad as this is, it is necessary. I would be shocked if Geno starts from day 1. But as an organization, competition should bring out the best in all QBs."

The Tim Tebow experiment has ended in New York -- and, quite possibly, in the NFL as a whole. The Jets released Tebow on Monday, putting to rest any notion that he would compete with the rest of the team's menagerie of starting quarterbacks. Tebow's future doesn't look particularly bright, as his skills as a quarterback have constantly been called into question, but he does have measurable skills as a football player. If he can convince another team to take him on, we might see yet another attempt to translate his unique skill set into NFL success.

New York tabloid writers won't have to worry about the Jets not creating headlines anytime soon. With the selection of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith with the 39th pick in the NFL draft, the Jets' quarterback controversy has only intensified. Should the Jets release four-year starter Mark Sanchez and take an $8 million financial hit to get an early start on the Geno Smith era? Is the Geno Smith era worth rushing into? And how about Jets fans who have had to suffer through one humiliating turn after another?

The Darrelle Revis contract saga appears to be over. The Jets and Buccaneers have reportedly agreed to a deal that would send the disgruntled cornerback to Tampa Bay, where he would sign a contract extension. Revis had been holding out in New York looking for a bigger deal. The Bucs -- who were last in the league in passing defense in 2012 -- would send multiple picks (including No. 13 overall) in this week's draft to the Jets in exchange for the three-time All-Pro. So what do you make of the deal?

• Jetsfansince68: "This is a good move for both teams. I will miss Revis but the Jets need picks. For you Bucs' fans he is everything they say he is, don't listen the to people that try to down play his game. The guy is the best corner in the league and in the conversation with the best who ever played the position."
• minnesota legendz: "Spectacular move for the Bucs if this happens. Weak draft, hes obviously 10 times superior to Dee Milliner and D.J. Hayden. Congrats"
• Bills_Will: "Revis is one of the most overrated players in the NFL."
• FireWilpon: "I hate being a Jets fan, and I hate Woody Johnson. The 13th pick in this draft will not be as good as Darrelle Revis. The first pick in this draft will not be as good as darrelle revis. Draft picks are just lottery tickets. The Jets won the lottery, and are trading their winnings for more tickets. Unbelievable."
• jettydakid: "Jets need to get smart. Trade down and away the bucs pick at 13. Have 2 1st rd picks for next year. Get clowney or Johnny football. As long as Sanchez is QB your always in rebuilding"
• GruDeN_GrinDeR: "Bucs play in a division with Julio, Roddy, Colston, Steve Smith, etc.. They needed to make this trade"

We know that you were holding off on making a final judgment on Tim Tebow until you heard Jeff Garcia's opinion on the matter, but you don't have to wait any longer. Garcia, who put in 11 NFL seasons that were actually a lot better than you might remember, called Tebow "a distraction" in an interview with USA Today. Of course, Garcia might have a certain bias -- he's been tutoring Tebow rival Mark Sanchez in the ways of the West Coast offense. Tebow's not likely to be on the Jets this season, but he might need to change his skillset in order to thrive in the NFL.

• Sgreco27: "The reality is the Jet's aren't adequately equipped offensively to support any QB, not just Tebow."
• Doug6361: "Tebow himself was not a distraction. The distraction came from the media and also the "Wildcat" idea brought by Tony Sparano. If Mark can't handle distractions anyway, he has no business in the sport of NFL Football. "
• 49ersFan504: "Sorry but I refuse to bash a guy who has shown more class than 95% of athletes out there. While the entire Jets team imploded after last years debacle, Tebow remained a class act. Yes he's def not a good QB, but he's earned respect in my book."
• charliebuckjr: "I have nothing but respect for Tebow. He may not be the "prototype" QB but he works hard. Now does that mean he gets a shot at being a QB, no. It still comes down to how you do on the field. "
• sussexcorrectional: "tebow has done nothing but win, unlike mark sanchez...if I was an owner I would give tebow a chance to prove he can win again."
• Bill7511: "I have to say I really believe the Jets should hand the starting Quarterback job to Tim. This guy is a born leader. If they commit to him,I am convinced he would find away to lead them to a successful season."

On Friday, ESPN's "First Take" debated whether the Jets should sign Kevin Kolb. The team is reportedly interested in the former Arizona quarterback, who the Cardinals released Friday. Herm Edwards thinks it's time for a change in New York, while Stephen A. Smith thinks that Kolb could excel behind an offensive line that's not a complete disaster. Skip Bayless thinks that, despite the Jets apparently creating a logjam at quarterback, Kolb would be the best fit. What's your take?

If it weren't for this thunderous dunk, we might be talking more about Jeff Green's excellent night, or the Heat's streak finally coming to a close. Of course, said dunk did happen, helping the Heat overcome the Celtics and frankly ruining Jason Terry's good name on Twitter. We're reminded of a similar dunk that you all know by now: DeAndre Jordan's devastating slam over Brandon Knight. Was LeBron's better?

• ZHicksPicks: "This is close, Knight put up a better fight against Jordan, making his dunk harder, but Lebron made it look SO easy, that it was just kind of shocking."
• thatsgood4595: "DeAndre had a better entrance and exit with his dunk. He made an amazing jump to get to the basket and landed perfectly on his feet."
• jlewi1997: "I didn't think Jordans dunk was all the hype from the jump. If you watch alot of Clippers games you're used to this type of stuff, If you watch Heat games you are used to Lebron's dunks. They were both good but had nothing on Griffin's Mosgov or Perkins dunks."
• manimarf09: " I feel the De'Andre dunk is overrated since it thrives partly off of putting someone down, in this case Brandon Knight. Plus, with a defender in the picture, it's less visually appealing since we have to look at what happens to the defender, too, rather than marvel solely at the alley-oop - the pass and dunk."
• mike973m: "The difference is Lebron did his murderous dunk on the road and the crowd didnt respond yet Deandre was at home and the crowd went wild thats why his dunk seems better. I prefer Lebron's dunk because he simply elevated and out jumped Terry while Deandre used his forearm to push Knight down and gain more of an advantageous position."
• anthonymcneil85: "DeAndre's was much better...but Terry said that LeBron could not hold him, and Terry got the best of him."

It's apparently going to take a first-round pick for the Buccaneers to pry Darrelle Revis from the Jets. Not every first-rounder becomes Darrelle Revis, of course, but there's no guarantee that he's still the league's best cornerback after undergoing ACL surgery. Would he be worth the risk?

• BUCS-GATORS: "I wouldn't mind Revis but not for a 1st rounder. Not now or in 2014. He's almost 30 and coming off a major injury. So Jets you keep Revis and his high salary. Plenty of other CB still out there. Not to mention the draft. Oh and next year when he's a FA we'll sign him."
• Bosox0831: "Must land him. We trade 2nd round this year and 2014 first. Then in this years draft, we trade back in the first and pick up CB Trufant or TE eifert or TE ertz. And by trading back we pick up a 2nd or third round and then were back to normal. That's how I would see that playing out if I was GM"
• Mcgriff1985: "Dont over pay for Revis TB while he is a good corner ONE of the best CBs in the league he is NOT the best CB in the league and he really could be done with the ACL surgery really hurting his speed and agility to make plays. If your willing to give up a 1 in 14 thats great but I wouldnt do it for any more than a couple 2nd round picks at most probably a 2nd and 3rd."
• raysdude90: "This is the one time I want my Bucs to cave."
• happenin035590: "heres bucs 1st rounders last 6 years: doug martin, mark barron, adrian clayborn, gerald mccoy, josh freeman, aqib talib, gaines adams. None are close to revis status... if the contract isnt an issue the 1st round pick shouldnt be an issue."
• coolio198: "I'm not trading a 1st round and giving a huge contract to someone fresh off ACL surgery, sorry."

The Jets have a pretty good problem -- they have four quarterbacks in camp who have all started in the NFL. Or at least it'd be a good problem without all the question marks: Mark Sanchez's confidence, Tim Tebow's arm, David Garrard's health and Greg McElroy's inexperience. It'll be interesting to see which direction the Jets go in this season -- if, in fact, they decide to go in a single direction at all.

• theduellist5: "Sanchez's stats from last year show that just about anybody in the league would be a better choice- especially Garrard, who was solidly middle-of-the-road or slightly better when he was playing. As long as he stays healthy, that is. That is the only question mark at 35 years old."
• chucktomlin: "Fans want to see Tebow get a shot. It's going to be tough to get an even Ok team now, but the greater the challenge, the better it can be. I'd like Tebow to have a chance at his career, but also really want to see these self appointed experts get destroyed by what he can do. If you don't think he can play QB, you have been fooled."
• Ryan2410: "Garrard is a pro bowler, a smart QB, and he has LOTS of experience."
• PhilCarter87: "I think a Garrard vs. Sanchez competition with a solid surrounding core is looking pretty good. Lets leave the evals to the qualified personnel."
• isthistmz: "I'm not a Jets fan but this is actually a good move. The Jet's aren't going anywhere next year unless Mark Sanchez has an out of body experience for 10 or so games. Obviously the draft is the place to find an actual franchise QB. Garrard is just an insurance policy for a bridge season."
• pdspyke: "It's clear to me that they signed Garrard to back up Tebow in the new wide open read option offense. Wait and see if it isn't true!"

The word around the NFL combine was that the Jets were entertaining trade talk for Darrelle Revis given his $16 million contract, bum ACL and the team's desperate need for a quarterback. But finding a trade partner is easier said than done. Enter the San Francisco 49ers with their multiple draft picks and a hole in their secondary. The chatter about the two teams working up a deal may be early, but it's not too early for SportsNation to break down the ins and outs of this potential blockbuster.
