August 31, 201313 yr According to Adam Schefter. ESPN SportsCenter - Tim Tebow released by Patriots, league source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter Is this the end of Tebow? You have to think it is. He's been on three teams and two of them excellent franchises. The Broncos and Patriots keep and develop talent very well in general. They don't make emotional decisions, therefore, they both felt he just wouldn't develop. He has played too many games to be Practice Squad eligible, also. The Jets are a chaos franchise and they need a QB in the worse way and he couldn't stick there. I would imagine he will be fine, though, just not as an NFL player.

Actually the Broncos would have kept him had they not got Manning.
August 31, 201313 yr Actually the Broncos would have kept him had they not got Manning. We'll never know, but I doubt it.
August 31, 201313 yr Author Actually the Broncos would have kept him had they not got Manning. If they wanted to keep him they never would have went after Manning to begin with.
August 31, 201313 yr If they wanted to keep him they never would have went after Manning to begin with. Yes they would have. It's Peyton Manning for crying out loud.
August 31, 201313 yr Can't think of a better environment for him to have stuck so I do believe he's done.
August 31, 201313 yr Go to CFL and try to hone some skills. Worked for Flutie. The CFL is a pass heavy league. When you have three downs to make a first down you need a quality passer.
August 31, 201313 yr Author Yes they would have. It's Peyton Manning for crying out loud. Peyton Manning who they'll get 3 years out of at best and is one neck injury from becoming a commentator or Tebow who is a proven winner and has his whole career ahead of him? They made their choice. I didn't see Green Bay going after Manning. Saints? Nope. Pats? Nope. Steelers, the team Tebow defeated in the playoffs? Nope. Happy with Ben. Hell, the 49ers even kept Alex Smith. Cardinals? Kolb? Eagles? Nope. We'll keep Vick but thanks for calling Peyton. Bengals? Nope, Peyton...we got Andy. Giants? Nope, Peyton. We got the winning version of you, we're fine. Broncos(with Tebow in the room when Peyton calls) how much do you want Peyton? You can tell yourself,"it's Peyton Manning" all you want. If the Broncos had even the slightest bit of faith in Tebow they wouldn't have sold him for 3 years of a 37? year old Peyton Manning. That doesn't make sense.
August 31, 201313 yr Author Can't think of a better environment for him to have stuck so I do believe he's done. Same here.
August 31, 201313 yr Tim Tebow just needs to move on to what ever is next in his life. I think he will have a huge opportunity as a speaker but he may just slide off into being a Missionary to third world countries.
August 31, 201313 yr The CFL is a pass heavy league. When you have three downs to make a first down you need a quality passer. I did not specify which skills. Flutie was just the first name that popped into my head.

If the Broncos had even the slightest bit of faith in Tebow they wouldn't have sold him for 3 years of a 37? year old Peyton Manning. That doesn't make sense. It's because Manning was only goin to go to a few certain teams. I'm sure teams put out feelers him. I think the Broncos were satisfied with Tebow to an extent. Obviously they weren't completely sold on him but why take a chance on an unproven QB when you can get Manning? They wanted to win now. Q
