With teams needing to cut their rosters down to 85 players, the NFL dream is nearing an end for 160 hopefuls. One of those players in quarterback\/outfielder\/tight end Tim Tebow who, according to the latest NFL rumors, is no longer a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. In other news, New York Giants owner John Mara defended the league\u2019s new taunting rule, while Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins details his battle with COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The Tim Tebow Era in Jacksonville is officially at an end. After signing the former quarterback to play tight end<\/a>, head coach Urban Meyer parted ways with the Florida product as Jacksonville trimmed their roster down to 85 players.<\/p>\n Following the release, Tebow said that he was \u201cthankful for the highs and even the lows\u201d while adding that he \u201cnever wanted to make decisions out of fear or failure\u201d. In a separate statement, head coach Urban Meyer said that cutting Tebow was \u201cthe right thing\u201d for the team, but made a point to note that everyone in the locker room loved him.<\/p>\n Tebow has always been a great athlete, but you need more than pure athleticism to succeed in the NFL. As evidence by his failed blocking attempt and his inability to play special teams, Tebow is simply too far behind the curve to have any real NFL success at this point in life. Tebow might have had a chance if he tried this positional switch in his early 20\u2019s like Logan Thomas, but at age 34, he simply doesn\u2019t have youth on his side. Barring something completely unforeseen, this looks like the end of Tebow\u2019s NFL career.<\/p>\n Tim Tebow needs to go back to the booth or baseball. #33 is trying to make the team but he got tackled for a loss because Tebow can\u2019t block.
