ajt Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Tim Tebow has reached agreement on a new deal with the Eagles, two sources said Sunday. Tebow is scheduled to arrive in Philadelphia -- and get a deal done -- in time to be in attendance for the start of the Eagles off-season program Monday. Philadelphia has finalized an agreement with the 27-year-old Tebow, the framework of which was put into place when he worked out for the team last month. Before signing Tebow, the Eagles first wanted to try to trade backup quarterback Matt Barkley. But when the team could not get enough in return, it decided to bring in Tebow anyway so that he could be present for the team’s entire off-season program. Tebow now will join a crowded Eagles’ quarterback roster that includes Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez and Barkley, giving Philadelphia three former first-round picks at the quarterback position in addition to another decorated college player. And it also will reunite Tebow and Sanchez, who were teammates with the New York Jets. Football’s most interesting team this off-season, the Eagles, just got even more interesting – if that were possible. Tebow now will attempt to jumpstart an NFL career that has been on hold since he played his last NFL game in 2012. Since then, Tebow continued to train for two full seasons with the noted throwing coach, Tom House, who also has worked with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Tebow, who has been working for ESPN and as an analyst for the SEC Network, last played in an NFL regular-season game when he was with the Jets after playing two seasons with the Denver Broncos. Tebow went to training camp with the Patriots before being released in August 2013. He struggled to find consistency with the Patriots, completing 11 of 30 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions in three preseason games. "I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback," Tebow wrote on Twitter after he was released by New England. Now the pursuit continues – in Philadelphia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripp Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hes coming in as QB4 and will have to make the team Dont forget Tebow was also signed by the Pats in a prove it situation and he was cut before the season started. Tebow will have to earn his keep. Wonder if he has changed his mind any on only being a QB. He can help a team somewhere, just not throwing the football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
