As if the New York Jets didn't have enough things to worry about during the 2013-14 season, they now have to worry about Tim Tebow for at least another season as the embattled quarterback has joined the New England Patriots.
According to Ed Werder of ESPN (via Twitter), Tebow has signed on with the Patriots for this upcoming season, landing him right in the AFC East and in the same division as the lowly Jets.
Just filed to ESPN: The Patriots are signing QB Tim Tebow and expect him to be in minicamp tomorrowTebow's role on the Pats isn't known just yet, but considering New England has that Tom Brady guy behind center, there isn't any chance Tebow plays at quarterback unless something catastrophic happens or he gets a snap as a trick-play quarterback.

Instead, Tebow will likely play multiple roles with the team on the offensive end as a receiver and/or running back.
Sound familiar? That was exactly the plan the Jets had for Tebow going into last season before it failed miserably and ended up making even more of a mockery of both Tebow and the Jets organization. Tebow ended up just throwing eight passes the entire season to the tune of 39 yards.
While he was pretty prevalent in the Jets offense early on in his tenure, Tebow was inexplicably buried for the latter parts of the season and was never heard from again despite the fact that quarterback Mark Sanchez was dreadful enough to be replaced.
After things didn't work out last season and he didn't get his fair shake at his desired position, the Jets released Tebow in April of this year and thought they had rid themselves of the constant media sensation surrounding the controversial signal-caller.
It looked as though the Florida product wouldn't even land a job anywhere in the NFL this season but the Pats ended that notion.
