Tim Tebow #15 of the New York Jets runs off the field after a game against the San Diego Chargers at MetLife Stadium on December 23, 2012 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Tim Tebow's time with the New York Jets has expired, as first reported by Brian Costello of the New York Post.
The polarizing 25-year-old has been released just days after the Jets drafted quarterback Geno Smith in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Tebow's turbulent Jets career began with a large press conference but never truly got off the ground. Tebow attempted just eight passes while paired with New York's other embattled quarterback, Mark Sanchez.
"We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow," Jets coach Rex Ryan said in a statement released on the team's website. "Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped. Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason. We wish him the best moving forward."
Albert Breer of NFL.com reports that Tebow learned of his release on Monday morning at the team's facilities.
