Tim Tebow might have reached the end of the line in the NFL.

The quarterback, who hasn't played in a regular-season game since December 2012, will be among the Eagles' final cuts Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Chip should have left him ALONE!! Jerk.

I knew he looked bad first three games, but then he looked good the other night. AND they traded Barkley. This is cruel.

I hope tim moves on. GREAT guy but holds onto ball after first read is no good, usually no good because he cant release fast enough.

But then he shows NONE of that weakness the other night. He drives me CRAZY!!

Tim, screw football. You are a great announcer and better human being than 99 percent of players,

Why, one has to wonder? This may be a decison that was already made, long before Tim stepped onto that playing field.

He tried hard. Most don’t get the opportunity has has had. He did fine. He’ll go on to coach at a high school or something. He’s not dead just not going to be a pro-football guy. Good luck to his future endeavors. The NFL bent over backwards for him that is for sure. Good for them.

I hope the Eagles lose every game and come crying back to Tebow.

It surprised me. We’re talking about the third string slot and I thought Tebow played well enough to hang on to that. The Eagles must think they can find a better QB off the waiver wires.

The way is because he hold onto football way too long, cant read the field and panics after first read not open. One good game doesn’t wipe away a whole preseason and three other games.

I love the guy. Chip Kelly personally liked him alot. 53 man roster is precious.

Time for tim to let go. Maybe the dyslexia is the reason for poor processing speed.

If they traded Barkley and cut Tebow, the Eagles must be going with 2 QB’s. That is a receipt for disaster.

The Eagles traded Matt Barkley on Friday and it looked like Tebow had a spot as third QB. Then they cut Tebow today. They have Sam Bradford as first QB and Sanchez as second. Bradford will be hurt before three games are played. He was already hurt once in the preseason. If that happens and there are no roster changes, Sanchez will be Phillys starter for most of the season. First, they traded Folz, then Barkley, then cut Tebow. What are they looking for?

Maybe The Saints should pick him up.

It would be a fitting team name for him, and The Saints don’t really seem to be able to win at all anymore.

Eagles are 3-1 and The Ain’ts are 0-4...

Remember that he was playing against third stringers, not the starters.

Even if they do, I doubt that it would be attributable to not keeping him.

I hope so. Why does he always wait till LAST pre season game to do well. Same with patriots.

I have no illusions about him, but good enough third string.

I hope he just lets it go.
