BlueInCanada Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Tim Tebow to sign with New England Patriots, play QB 508 By Gregg Rosenthal Around The League Editor Published: June 10, 2013 at 05:08 p.m. Updated: June 10, 2013 at 06:09 p.m. It's safe to say Bill Belichick doesn't hate Tim Tebow after all. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Monday the New England Patriots are signing Tebow after all. Just in time for Tuesday's mandatory minicamp. Way back in April, the Patriots were atop our list of potential Tebow landing spots because of Belichick's appreciation of versatile players and his love of all things University of Florida. But this news still comes as a surprise because of the timing. Yahoo! Sports reported last month that there was "no chance" the Patriots would sign him. Belichick came out publicly and lambasted the accuracy of that report last week. NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Monday it's a "low-money deal." So why would Belichick sign Tebow? Because he can. It really might not get more complicated than that. Former Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels remains on the Patriots staff and is obviously a big believer in Tebow. There is virtually no risk to the signing because Tebow's contract is unlikely to have any guarantees. The Patriots love to kick the tires on veterans, and this is nothing more than that. Signing Tebow doesn't mean that he's a lock to make the roster. Rapoport reported that Tebow is being brought in as a quarterback, and it's hard to imagine him passing Ryan Mallett on the depth chart. Third stringer Mike Kafka was released Monday. Tebow, like a lot of No. 3 quarterbacks in the league, has to prove his worthiness in limited practice snaps. Unlike most No. 3 quarterbacks, however, he potentially could help on special teams and the occasional trick play. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000210586/article/tim-tebow-to-sign-with-new-england-patriots-play-qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It's a win-win. Belichick gets to have somebody run the option at RB. TeBLOW gets to extend his career by another year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Man I was really hoping Tebow would sign somewhere and be given a shot. This effectivly ends his qb days because he won't just take up roster space as a backup, he'll be out there running the ball. He might end up being a good tight end or H back though.

TrashTalker92 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I usually dislike anything the Pats does. But for some reason I want to see tebow make some noise as a H back. Making that fat yapper Rex shut his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Good for Tebow to land in the NFL. I hope he doesn't just rot away on the bench. Hope he can disappear for a few years there and come back to a starting position elsewhere and perform at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Starting to like this for Tim. If there is any coach that can turn him into a QB, it's BB. Sit a few years behind one of the greatest qb's of all time, absorb all that info from the smartest coach in football and in a few years maybe take over or see where you end up.
