NFL free agent and ESPN analyst Tim Tebow is still looking to get back into the league and with training camp coming up, the former quarterback is working out and while it's highly unlikely, teams like the Oakland Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals or New Orleans Saints could be options for him this year.

Tebow has a new job with ESPN and while he said that he is concentrating on starting with the SEC Network, he also said that he plans on working out to try and continue his NFL career. According to Fox Sports, Tebow spoke with a channel in Arizona while working out about coming back to the NFL and he said that he is preparing his best for what comes next and that he still hopes to play in the NFL someday. Tebow has once again received offers from the CFL and other leagues, but for him it looks to be NFL or bust.

Tebow has been working out all year and now training camp starts and this comes a year after he was signed by the Patriots in camp and spent the preseason with the team. Tebow was royally screwed over by the Jets in numerous ways and that just shows how dumb of an organization they can be. First the team poisoned the well on Mark Sanchez by acquiring Tebow and acting like it wasn't a competition, then the team acted like Tebow was some big secret weapon in training camp.

Tebow barely got on the field for the Jets and when he did, they had no idea how to use him effectively and then blamed it on him. Adding insult to injury, the team knew they were going to release him, but waited as long as possible until after the draft, meaning teams all basically signed backup quarterbacks and depth players and then he had nowhere to go. Very classy guys, very classy. Tebow never complained about how the Jets treated him and now that is part of the reason why he is not in the league.

Tebow had an electric start with the Broncos, but adding Peyton Manning ended his career there and he ended up with the Patriots after getting cut by the Jets. The Pats don't usually hold three quarterbacks and that is why he was released and now Tebow is not sure his career will continue. Tebow has been keeping the faith and has been working out and he is making his TV career something important to him as well and if the NFL continues to elude him, he will always have that. Tebow deserved more of a chance in the NFL and the Jets in large part screwed him over.

Tebow had a magical run with the Broncos before he was traded and while his stats are nothing amazing, he did win a playoff game against the Steelers in Denver. Tebow can be a weapon if used the right way and while he may not be a top level QB, he has won a playoff game and a division title and that's more than many players can say these days.
