Tebow Mania lives on.
The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with quarterback Tim Tebow on a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Schefter notes that Tebow is expected to sign a contract Monday, in time to participate in Philadelphia's offseason program.
Philly had Tebow in for a workout last month, but was reportedly trying to trade third-string quarterback Matt Barkley before bringing him on board.
Despite the deal, it will still be an uphill climb for Tebow to make the Eagles' roster. Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, G.J. Kinne and Barkley currently sit ahead of him on the depth chart, and it's hard to fathom a scenario where Tebow would be a better option than any one of them.
If anybody can maximize Tebow's abilities and find creative ways to use the signal caller, it's probably Chip Kelly. The Eagles head coach is anything but conventional and his offseason roster moves give credence to that.
The former Heisman winner's skill set always made him a long shot to make it in the NFL, but he did help the Denver Broncos to a division title and playoff victory during the 2011 season. However, offensive coordinator Adam Gase had to mold much of the offense around Tebow's limited abilities and the quarterback never instilled enough confidence in the organization to anoint him as a long-term starter.
Tebow hasn't appeared in a game since 2012, when he was used sparingly with the New York Jets. He failed at an attempt to crack the New England Patriots roster in 2013.
