The Patriots announced Tuesday morning that the former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback out of Florida has signed with the team, although contract terms were not disclosed.
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that it's a two-year contract with no guaranteed money.
In just three NFL seasons, Tebow has become one of the most popular yet polarizing players in league history. His quarterbacking skills at the pro level have always been debatable, yet he had a run of success in his two years with the Denver Broncos that included a playoff victory.
Last season with the New York Jets, however, was a disaster, with Tebow barely seeing the playing field and eventually being unofficially relegated to the role of third-string quarterback. He was released by the team in April.
