NEW YORK, March 5 (UPI) -- New York Jets General Manager John Idzik was vague about backup quarterback Tim Tebow's future during a teleconference with season-ticket holders.

Speaking in generalities, Idzik told a caller, "Tim, as you know, (is) currently on our roster and what we're trying to do is increase competition at that position. ... We're going to see who we're able to bring on board and let it play out."

Idzik either emphasized Tebow's safety in being on the roster, or pointed out everyone is fighting for a job on the team, USA Today noted Tuesday, adding Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy and possibly veteran David Garrard will join Tebow as prospective quarterbacks when the Jets begin training camp in July.
