We’ve been waiting for the pen to actually hit the paper ever since it was reported that Tebow was joining the Jaguars, and it’s now a done deal.
After several years away from football, Tebow is finally back in the NFL.
The #Jaguars are planning to sign QB-turned-TE Tim Tebow to a 1-year deal, per me and @TomPelissero, a deal that could be official in the next week or so. Nothing done yet. But he’ll have a chance to make the team to reunite with his mentor and college head coach Urban Meyer.

Granted, he’s not back in the NFL as a quarterback, but he’s still back. Urban Meyer is giving him the chance to compete for a roster spot as a tight end.
If that doesn’t make your interest shoot up, then I have to wonder whether or not you’re even a fan.
I hope like hell he makes the team. The dude dominates the news cycle and so many pro-Kaepernick people will be pissed. Bring it on!
