Jun 17: ESPN's Mike Reiss views Ryan Mallett as a roster lock this season, with Tebow's chances of sticking around hinging on the Patriots keeping three quarterbacks, after keeping just two last season. While the Patriots signed Tebow to a two-year deal worth $1.36 million, the contract does not include any guaranteed money. In any case, if the Patriots keep Tebow around, it will be as a depth QB and someone who coach Bill Belichick (who has a knack for putting his players in position to succeed) could deploy occasionally with some creative play-calling and formations.

Jun 11: Tebow has signed a two-year deal with the Patriots that includes no guaranteed money, ESPN reports. This is not a surprise, after Tebow was marginalized in his sole season with the Jets in 2012. With one of the league's top signal callers, Tom Brady, under center in New England, Tebow figures to hold a similar role with his new squad. Moreover, Ryan Mallett already has received two years of teaching in the Patriot way, making him the clear No. 2 quarterback option. In a news conference Tuesday, coach Bill Belichick did not shed any light on how Tebow may be utilized, but he'll almost certainly enter training camp as the third stringer.

Jun 10: The Patriots will sign Tebow, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports. With Tebow in the fold, the Patriots cycled out third-stringer Mike Kafka on Monday. Tebow is obviously no threat to Tom Brady's job security and figures to slot behind Ryan Mallett on the Patriots' QB depth chart, but he does give coach Bill Belichick and coordinator Josh McDaniels (who drafted Tebow in the first round in Denver) a player to potentially design some interesting plays around.

Apr 30: Tebow has cleared waivers and is now a free agent, Albert Breer of NFL.com reports. The Patriots have been rumored as a possible landing spot for Tebow, but this is just speculation at this point. Even if he were to play in the CFL, Tebow will be hard-pressed to land anything more than a backup role if he wants to play quarterback.

Apr 29: ESPN's Rich Cimini speculates that Tebow could land with the Patriots. His coach while he was with Denver was Josh McDaniels, who is the Pats' offensive coordinator, plus New England was said to be interested in Tebow prior to the 2010 draft. Obviously, if he landed with the Patriots, it would be as a backup/situational player, with the CFL also mentioned as another possibility for Tebow. On that front, the Montreal Alouettes own his rights, but they are content with their current starter, Anthony Calvillo, so if Tebow did head north, it would be in a backup capacity to begin with.

Apr 29: The Jets have released Tebow, ESPN New York reports. The move seemed inevitable after the Jets made fellow QB Geno Smith a second-round pick in the recent NFL draft. In his one-year stint with the Jets, Tebow attempted only eight passes and rushed the ball 32 times for 102 yards. He'll presumably pass through waivers and once he does, Tebow will be able to seek out a situation/organization where his skill set can be an asset.

Apr 28: Tebow's days with the Jets could be numbered, the Daily News reports. With the Jets' selection of Geno Smith in the second round of this week's draft, it seems more unlikely than ever that Tebow is in the Jets' 2013 plans, but for now at least, he remains on the team's roster.
