The Jacksonville Jaguars had until 4 PM EST on Tuesday to reduce their roster down to 85, but did so early this morning by making several roster moves. Among them was making the decision to waive tight end Tim Tebow, who is one of the most popular figures in football.
Of course, with his name being recognized in and out of the football community, many went to Twitter to share their thoughts. Here are just a few of them as the former Florida Gator will now move on to the next chapter in his career.
Thank you to the @Jaguars organization and everyone who has supported me in this journey.

Have to give Tebow credit for giving it a shot, working at it. Guys only have so long as athletes, so hard to blame him for taking advantage of the opportunity. https://t.co/SwdVgzOcBw

Don’t be happy it happened, but be happy it’s over. I sure am.

It would have been cool to see but this was always going to happen https://t.co/aJkKcIKXKi

Tim TEbow undoubtedly was the worst TE on the roster. Still, surprised/impressed that Urban cut him this early. Now it’s time to name Trevor QB1 and we’re rolling.

I don’t care what y’all say, it was fun seeing Tebow in a Jags uniform and I’m glad he was given an opportunity.

You are a wonderful, kind, exceptional human being, @TimTebow. Grateful to have been able to get to know you a little bit this summer. https://t.co/WtnybE37aw

Respect to Tim Tebow for putting himself back in the arena. Zero shame in that.

This was the only choice for Urban. Players know who can play. Had he tried to keep him around it wouldn’t have gone over well. Wish nothing but the best for Tim in whatever he does next https://t.co/i3uMSNJg61
