Philadelphia--Tim Tebow, who hasn't played in the National Football League for more than two years, is expected to sign a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, US media reported on Sunday.
Tebow would become one of five quarterbacks on the Eagles' roster, joining Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley and G.J. Kinne.
The 27-year-old Tebow worked out with the Eagles last month. He will join the team for offseason workouts on Monday, FoxSports.com reported.
The former Heisman Trophy winner, as the top US college player, has played just 16 career NFL games. He has been working as a television analyst while trying to land a job with a team.
Tebow played two seasons for the Denver Broncos from 2010-11 and last appeared in the NFL for the New York Jets in 2012.
He joined the New England Patriots in June 2013 but was cut two months later before the beginning of the regular season.
Sanchez and Tebow were teammates on the Jets in 2012.
The NFL regular season begins in September.
