The Jaguars waived Tebow on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was always a long shot for the 2007 Heisman winner to reinvent himself as an NFL-caliber tight end at the age of 34. Tebow retired from baseball earlier this year and may now be done with professional sports for good.

The Jaguars officially signed Tebow to a one-year contract Thursday, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tebow, who will be 34 years old by the time Week 1 kicks off, is officially a member of the Jaguars' offseason roster. The ex-quarterback has converted to tight end, and while Jacksonville is in need of more talent at that position, it's unclear how much opportunity Tebow will realistically be able to compete for. He hasn't appeared in the NFL since spending the 2015 preseason in Philadelphia, and his last time handling regular-season action was 2012.

Tebow has agreed to a one-year contract with the Jaguars, which is expected to be finalized within the next week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The ex-quarterback plans to convert to tight end to play for coach Urban Meyer, who coached Tebow in college at Florida. Tebow has been out of the league since being cut by the Eagles at the end of the 2015 preseason, and he hasn't suited up in the regular season since 2012. He'll be 34 years old by the time the season starts, and it's unclear how much playing time Tebow can carve out, even in a shallow Jacksonville tight end room.

Tebow recently reached out to the Jaguars and requested a tryout at tight end, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It isn't clear if Tebow got a full tryout, but he did at least work out with Jaguars TEs coach Tyler Bowen. The former quarterback and minor league baseball player is obviously a great athlete, but learning to play tight end in the NFL as a 33/34-year-old sounds far-fetched.

Tebow was released by the Eagles on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
EDGE Analysis
After trading Matt Barkley to the Cardinals on Friday, the Eagles are apparently set to keep just two quarterbacks, Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. It'll be surprising if Tebow finds an NFL home before the end of the season, as a role with the Eagles as a two-point/goal-line specialist seemed to be his best hope of sticking on a roster.

Tebow completed 11 of 17 passes for 189 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Thursday's 24-18 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Tebow saved his best performance for the most important outing of the preseason. Head coach Chip Kelly made it clear that the third and final quarterback roster spot would likely be decided by the preseason finale, and Tebow made big throws and led scoring drives while fellow quarterback Matt Barkley floundered. It seems that Tebow will make the Eagles' 53-man roster and be on the sideline come Week 1 in Atlanta.

Tebow completed both of his pass attempts for 15 yards and ran for four yards in Saturday's 39-26 win over the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Tebow's performance was tempered against Green Bay, as he got the ball without much offensive momentum and only saw the final two thirds of the fourth quarter as the starting quarterback. He was unable to move the ball much, or lead a scoring drive, but fellow quarterback Matt Barkley did little to distance himself in the race for the team's third quarterback position. The competition between the two will likely be decided in the final week of the preseason, when the Eagles face the Jets.

Tebow's throwing motion doesn't appear to be significantly different, despite reports that it changed after his work with quarterback guru Tom House, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. House, a former MLB pitcher, is known for working with some of the NFL's top quarterbacks, although his work with Tebow seems to have garnered the most attention. Tebow is competing with Matt Barkley for the No. 3 quarterback job, and Barkley is currently ahead on the depth chart. There's been some talk that the NFL's new extra-point rules could make Tebow useful as a two-point conversion specialist, but even if Chip Kelly decides to approach the PAT more aggressively, he'd probably prefer to do so with Sam Bradford under center. All in all, Tebow still faces an uphill battle to make the final roster.

Eagles vice president of player personnel Ed Marynowitz suggests that Tebow has improved as a player since his time with the Patriots, ESPN.com reports. "We had exposure to him live when he was with New England, when they practiced here," Marynowitz noted Thursday. "When we worked him out, we saw a great deal of improvement with him." That's not to suggest that Tebow is a lock to make an impact with the Eagles, but he is slated to compete for a spot on the team's QB depth chart and any improvement in his throwing technique would obviously help him in that regard. Moreover, the report suggests that it's possible that if Tebow sticks with the Eagles, he could emerge as something of a two-point conversion specialist for the team down the road.

Tebow has agreed to terms with the Eagles, according to ESPN.com. Tebow joins an Eagles QB corps that currently includes Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley and G.J. Kinne, so his roster spot is hardly guaranteed and his role with the team, should he make the cut, is far from clarified at this stage. As a result, Tebow has a way to go before re-entering the fantasy lineup conversation.
