New England Patriots quarterback Tim Tebow warms up before facing the New York Giants in their NFL preseason game in Foxborough, Massachusetts, August 29, 2013. "

Tim Tebow made headlines this week with the announcement that he will be joining ESPN on the SEC Network as a new analyst for their main college football show and the 26-year-old plans to continue pursuing an NFL career and heading into the offseason, teams like the Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans or Cleveland Browns as well as the Minnesota Vikings could have new quarterbacks and if Tebow gets back into the league next season those could be some possible destinations.

Tebow was with the New England Patriots in the preseason and was cut loose after signing over from the Jets and the only sniff that he got was from the St. Louis Rams and now he will be working for ESPN, the network that hoped he would be a star. The 26-year-old former Heisman winner will be an analyst for the SEC Nation show on the new SEC Network from ESPN and he comes in after winning in college and playing for the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and the New England Patriots. Last preseason Tebow played a bit for the Patriots, but the team traditionally doesn't carry three quarterbacks and did not keep him on the roster and he spent the season as a free agent and now he will be on television and will be making his debut for the network during its coverage for the BCS National Championship game next week.

The SEC Network will start up in August and the show Tebow will be a part of will travel to games in the conference from week to week in the same vein as College GameDay, but specifically for the SEC conference. Tebow hired an agent weeks ago for his entertainment career and it has paid off and many felt that Tebow's best bet for a future was in broadcasting and now he has done it. Tebo said that he will continue working towards an NFL career and while he didn't get a chance last year, things could be different if someone like Josh McDaniels gets the job in Cleveland with the Browns.

Cleveland made a big decision to fire first year head coach Rob Chudzinski and clearly things were not working out there and now the Browns could be looking to hire McDaniels, who was supportive of Tebow and was the coach when he was drafted by the Broncos. McDaniels is the offensive coordinator of the Patriots and he may have been one reason that Tebow was brought in to New England in the first place. The Browns are a mess, but McDaniels could be an interesting hire and Tebow obviously would get linked there because of that, but it remains to be seen if that would happen.
