Tim Tebow has reached agreement on a new deal with the Eagles, two sources said Sunday.

Ohhhhhh Boy.

If Tebow can have any success in the league, Chip will be the coach who gets it out of him.

Now, I don't think for a second he'll be an every down QB, but I think in certain special packages and/or gimmick plays he can be a weapon. Whether or not you can justify keeping three or four QB's for Tebow to remain is uncertain.

That... or this is just a 'smokescreen' or distraction to keep their intent to trade up for a QB (Mariotta) hidden.

...whatever Mid

Probably won't even make the team, or if he does won't ever see the field.

dbair1967 · Apr 20, 2015

He wants Tebow to mentor Mariotta

If we did this, dbair would be the first one in here saying "camp fodder."

dbair1967 · Apr 20, 2015

Actually I'd be saying "backup TE fodder"

I have to assume Tebow isn't willing to change positions, otherwise he does have the tools to be a successful player in the NFL. At quarterback? He really hasn't shown that's the spot for him in this league.

That Chip Kelly's a genius.

Minus the USC homering, if they cut Matt Barkley I'd be all over him if I was Dallas. One, I think he's going to be a decent QB down the road and two, more insight into Kelly's offense.

Use all three and you get a 114.5 QBR!

I don't see anything wrong with that.

What if Aaron Murray became available?

dbair1967 · Apr 20, 2015

Not all that excited about him either, though I think he probably throws it a tad better than Barkley

Midswat · Apr 24, 2015

@JenDanielsCSN: Sanchez on tebow: “we needed another guy to throw while Sam is still recovering..that’s the reason there..at least as it was explained to me
