The winner of the Heisman Trophy in 2007 joined the Jets from the Denver Broncos in 2012 after New York sent a pair of draft choices to Denver. The move didn\u2019t surprise the player or fans though as it was expected to happen sooner rather than later after the Jets went 6-10 last season.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Jets still have Mark Sanchez as their starting quarterback, but his future with the team could also be on the bubble. John Idzik, the general manager of the Jets, is trying to get his club back on track and the quarterback position appears to be his number one priority at this moment. The Jets chose quarterback Geno Smith from West Virginia in the NFL Draft with the 39th selection overall and then three days later said goodbye to Tebow.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWith the selection of Smith, some insiders feel the Jets may also let Sanchez go if he doesn\u2019t improve this season. However, the club has already announced that Sanchez will be a member of it at least throughout the pre season. It\u2019s believed Sanchez will remain with the team since it would cost New York $8.25 million to release him. The Jets will head into the pre season schedule with Sanchez, Smith, Greg McElroy, Matt Simms, and David Garrard as their quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTebow is now free to join another NFL club after spending most of last season watching from the sidelines. He never seemed to earn the confidence of head coach Rex Ryan last year even when Sanchez struggled. Tebow is seen by many as an NFL-caliber player and could end up with another team in the near future. The Montreal Alouettes of the CFL (Canadian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bet365sportsbookonline.com\/football\">Football<\/a> League) are also reportedly interested in him.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDavid Caldwell, the general manager of Jacksonville, said even though it\u2019s Tebow\u2019s home town, he won\u2019t end up there with the Jaguars. He could interest Marc Trestman, the new coach of the Chicago Bears, but Tebow would have to back up starter Jay Cutler. Trestman has worked with Tebow before at the Senior Bowl as well as before the 2010 draft and said he\u2019s very impressed with Tebow\u2019s abilities and work ethic.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe San Diego Chargers could be another possibility as quarterback Philip Rivers struggled last season, but new head coach Mike McCoy will likely go with him against next season. McCoy worked with Tebow in Denver though and knows how good he can be when he\u2019s on his game. Tebow led Denver to the playoffs in 2011 and McCoy hasn\u2019t forgotten that. It\u2019s possible that San Diego would take a chance on Tebow as he could seriously challenge Rivers for the starting job.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince Tebow hails from Florida it\u2019s possible that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be interested in him. He\u2019s attract a lot of fans there even if he\u2019s used as starting quarterback Josh Freeman\u2019s backup. Tampa Bay currently has Adam Weber and Dan Orlovsky as backups along with Mike Glennon, a third-round draft choice. Tebow shouldn\u2019t have a problem reaching number two on the team\u2019s depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA long shot would be to join the New England Patriots to back up starter Tom Brady. It\u2019s possible that he could play on special teams as well as a fullback\/tight end. Another long shot could be ending up in the CFL with the Alouettes as they hold Tebow\u2019s negotiating rights in the Canadian league. Wherever Tebow ends up, he\u2019s surely going to attract a lot of attention.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fxing_o1_1lps_4s00_0_\" style=\"display:none;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.feedcrossing.com\/1x.gif?o=fxing_o1_1lps_4s00_0_\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/div>\n<p>\n\tFor the latest odds on NFL football please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/sports.visitorium.com\/bet365\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/sports.visitorium.com\/bet365\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After just one season as a member of the NFL\u2019s New York Jets, third-year quarterback Tim Tebow was released by the club on April 29.
