D’Brickashaw Ferguson was working out in the Jets’ weight room Monday when Tim Tebow walked in and introduced himself.

Tebow then went on to the biggest press conference ever for a backup quarterback. For Ferguson, it was a glimpse of what is to come with Tebow on the Jets.

The Jets left tackle knows the circus is coming to town.

“That’s definitely going to be an aspect of it,” Ferguson said yesterday at the temporarily set-up NFL Shop at Draft store in Manhattan. “There will be a little bit of a circus come training camp and our media periods. I think that’s one of the things that’s part of this process when you make a trade like that. Hopefully, we can stay focused and focus on the bigger picture, which is having success this season.”

Ferguson appeared with Giants guard Chris Snee to promote the store, which opens Monday.

When he initially heard about the trade for Tebow, Ferguson was surprised. After a week to think about it, Ferguson has some questions, but he is optimistic about how it can work.

“We’ll see how it all plays out,” Ferguson said. “I know he has certain talents that I think can complement our team. It’s really early on in the process. We haven’t really implemented anything as of yet.”

Ferguson has seen a lot in his six years as a Jet. He lived through the Brett Favre experiment and went through a coaching change. He said he is not worried about how Tebow’s arrival will affect starting quarterback Mark Sanchez.

“I think he can take a lot of pride in the fact that he was extended,” he said. “I feel like the Jets have made a statement that he’s their guy. I think obviously with this new addition, though, the question of how they will work together, what will that synergy look like is a valid one. I think it can only be answered when we start to have meetings, when we get into the building and start doing practices. Until that point, it doesn’t matter.”

After last season’s disappointing 8-8 finish, Ferguson said this is a different team and he is not worried about the locker-room problems from 2011 carrying over.

“I think mentally we’ve transitioned with all the trades, with all the additions to the coaching staff and so forth, we are a different team already,” he said.

“I think every year the team changes a little bit. This past year our team has changed a lot. I think we’re all excited about seeing how that will affect this season. We all hope every move that was made works out to the best possible extent.”

a circus this team can handle, I think they thrive on a circus atmosphere. We just need this team to play together, if it becomes a QB controversry and divides the LR that is bad but it shouldn't get to that point if mark is playing the way he is capable.
