Tebow, a former quarterback with the Florida Gators and Denver Broncos, would become a tight end for the Jags.
“Deal that could be official in the next week or so,” the tweet said. “Nothing done yet. But he’ll have a chance to make the team to reunite with his mentor and college head coach Urban Meyer.”
Tebow won the Heisman Trophy at Florida and was a first-round pick of the Broncos in 2010.
Most recently, Tebow played professional baseball in the New York Mets farm system.
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.
