Surprise: Tebow is cut

Two backup Quarterbacks remained on the Eagles,  Matt Barkley and TimTebow. Barkley was traded, early Saturday,  and,  this morning,  we learn that Tebow was cut.  Kind of a surprise.  Many thought that Barkley's trade signaled good things for Tebow.  

He is much improved and his preseason stats are not bad:  Tebow was 11 for 17 for 189 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Jets in the final preseason game for the Eagles. He showed his accuracy has improved since his first stint in the NFL. Tebow finished the preseason 21 of 36 for 286 yards, two TDs and one interception. He also ran for 82 yards and one TD.  (stats from the AP).
