Tim Tebow Dolphins: Despite Rumors, Former Jets QB Tebow Unlikely To Head To Miami

Rumors are flying around the internet lately about Tim Tebow, the quarterback recently cut by the New York Jets. People are wondering where Tebow will end up or if he'll be able to get another opportunity to play in the National Football League.

The latest rumor has Tebow being considered by the Miami Dolphins. But, according to the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Tebow is not in the Dolphin's plans for 2013 despite the rampant speculation swirling about football chat rooms.

Team sources say Tebow, the former Florida Gator standout and Heisman trophy winner, was not working out for the Dolphins on Thursday, as rumored, and did not take a physical with the team.

Tebow, who was released by the New York Jets earlier this week, hopes to catch on with another NFL team this summer. But the odds of that being Miami are slim.

The Dolphins had an opportunity to look at Tebow last offseason when the Denver Broncos, Tebow's previous team, put the former first-round draft choice on the trading block after they acquired Peyton Manning. But, the Dolphins passed on adding Tebow, team executives reportedly saying off the record that they didn't believe he's an NFL quarterback.

A team source wouldn't rule Tebow out completely, but said adding Tebow "hasn't been discussed."

In his three NFL seasons, Tebow has completed 47.9 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,422 yards with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He's been sacked 41 times and has a cumulative passer rating of 75.3.

The Dolphins have Ryan Tannehill, a 2012 first-round pick, entering his second season as the team's starter, and Matt Moore, who was re-signed this offseason, is viewed as one of the NFL's top backups.

The Dolphins also have had quarterback Pat Devlin on the roster for the past two seasons, and Devlin is nicknamed by the coaches as "teacher's pet" because coach Joe Philbin is fond of the former Delaware standout, who spent all of 2012 on the 53-man roster.
