Eagles Cut Tim Tebow!!!

The Philadelphia Eagles Cut Tim Tebow after the former Heisman Trophy winner was gunning to land the No. 3 quarterback job for Chip Kelly in Philadelphia.

On Saturday, Tim Tebow was one of 22 players released by the Eagles, who also cut veteran offensive lineman John Moffitt and rookie running back Raheem Mostert.

Kelly said:

“We felt Tim has progressed, but we didn’t feel he was good enough to be the (No.) 3 right now.”

Kelly adds:

“[Tebow] really improved his throwing motion from when he was throwing a couple of years ago.”

“He worked extremely hard on it and deserves a lot of credit for that. I talked to him a little earlier [Saturday] when we released him.”

“He just needs to get more playing time. Get out there and get actual reps. Because he has done a ton on his own from an individual basis, but it is about taking that next step and playing the game.”

Tebow took to Twitter later Saturday, thanking Kelly and the Eagles, writing:
