According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports , the team will sign Tebow tomorrow as they begin their offseason program. Per Glazer, Tebow is being looked at as a quarterback. When asked about Tebow during the NFL owners meetings, Kelly said simply: “I’ve always been a fan of Tim.” What to make of the signing? There’s obviously no guarantee that Tebow will stick on the 53-man roster. The Eagles have 90 spots to work with in the offseason, and apparently Kelly thinks it makes sense to use one of them on Tebow. It’s hard to believe that Tebow would have any chance to make the squad as a straight-up quarterback. But maybe Kelly believes Tebow can fill some kind of specialized role. Or maybe he just needs another arm for the spring. Currently, the Eagles have four quarterbacks on the roster: Sam Bradford , Mark Sanchez , Matt Barkley and G.J. Kinne . Tebow will be the fifth, but it’s unclear when Bradford will be ready to practice. We’ll see if the Eagles add another quarterback in the draft later this month. Tebow spent the 2013 offseason with the Patriots but was released as the team cut down the roster to 53. The last time he actually played in the NFL was in 2012 with the Jets. He only attempted eight passes that season and ran for 102 yards on 32 carries. A Heisman Trophy winner and two-time nation
