B4IN Test: NFL Network: Raiders Talking With Agent For Tebow About Tryout

It’s a move that would put the Raiders back in the headlines of just about every NFL run show in the country – Tim Tebow may be ready to workout for the silver and black.

A tweet sent out by NFL Network reporter Ian Rapport about 10:35pm West Coast time Saturday night stated that the Raiders are in discussions with Tebow’s agent about a potential tryout.

Another interesting aspect is that the position that Tebow would be trying out for isn’t confirmed, meaning that instead of QB, the Raiders my just have interest in trying him out at some pass catching position if a tryout does indeed take place.

Tebow hasn’t played since his release from the Jets at the end of the 2012 season. He started his career as a first-round pick of the Denver Broncos, and in two seasons with Denver was 8-6 as a starter, and in his first ever playoff game went off for over 300 yards in an overtime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Denver.

He was traded by Denver to the Jets for a 4th round pick in 2012, but never saw much playing time for Rex Ryan, and the team released him after one year.

He was in preseason with the Patriots last summer, but failed to make the teams roster and was released in final cuts.
