It didn't take long for Chip Kelly to find a quarterback to replace Tim Tebow.

Stephen Morris, who was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, was claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Adam Shefter of ESPN.

When Matt Barkley was traded to the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, it appeared Tebow was all but assured the Eagles' third-string quarterback spot. However, Tebow was cut Saturday, leading the Eagles to look elsewhere for quarterback help.

Morris, signed as a undrafted free agent by the Jaguars in 2014, spent last season on their practice squad.
