    Tim Tebow's arrival in New York already has upset one New York Jets quarterback -- Drew Stanton.

    The veteran backup, who signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract last Friday to be the No. 2 quarterback, has asked to be traded or released, a league source confirmed to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter.

    The Associated Press, citing a person familiar with the Jets' plans, reported Thursday that the team is trying to trade Stanton.

    Stanton is said to be unhappy because he was promised the No. 2 job and turned down more lucrative opportunities with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs to play for the Jets. He received a $500,000 signing bonus, but he could have a hard time finding a new team because the backup jobs are filling up.
