The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... A person familiar with the New York Jets' plans says the team is trying to trade quarterback Drew Stanton. Multiple reports on Wednesday indicated that Stanton was upset and considering asking for a trade or his release following the Jets' acquisition of Tim Tebow. Stanton signed a $1.25 million, one-year deal last week to be Mark Sanchez's backup, but the Tebow deal has relegated Stanton to another third-string job. He left the Detroit Lions for a chance to be a No. 2 QB after sitting behind Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill. New York sent fourth- and sixth-round picks to Denver for Tebow shortly after signing Sanchez to a three-year extension. Stanton has played in 12 games, including four starts, since being drafted in the second round five years ago.
