JACKSONVILLE (SNN-TV) – Tim Tebow’s brief stint as a Jacksonville Jaguar is over after the NFL team announced today that it had waived the quarterback-turned-tight end.
The move comes a little less than three months after the team signed the former Heisman trophy winner, reuniting him with his former University of Florida coach Urban Meyer, who now heads the Jaguars. Tebow last played in an NFL regular season game in 2012 as a quarterback and spent the last few years playing Minor League Baseball with the New York Mets organization.
Tebow played in the Jaguars’ preseason opener on Saturday against the Cleveland Browns, his first appearance in a preseason game since 2015. He did not record a reception.
