The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign former Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL player Tim Tebow to a one-year contract, according to a report.
NFL Media reporter Ian Rapoport tweeted the news on Monday afternoon:
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.

Tony Khan, son of Jaguars Owner Shad Khan, said that Meyer still believes Tebow can play.
“Urban really believes he can help us, and I think it makes a lot of sense,” Khan said. “And it’s a position where we need to get better.”
Pro Football Talk reports, “Tebow last appeared in the NFL as a member of the Jets during the 2012 season and played baseball in the Mets organization from 2016-2019.”
Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer coached Tebow during his college career at Florida, a four-year run that included a Heisman Trophy and two national championships. Tebow, who attempted to catch on as a quarterback during his first stint in the league, recently worked out for Jacksonville at tight end.
