Because it costs them next to nothing. He signed a one-year, $660,000 contract with no signing bonus and no guaranteed money. As a veteram he'll make $1700 per week during training camp. If, and it's a huge if, Tebow makes the team then the Eagles have a heck of a deal. If he doesn't make the cut then the team is out less than $20,000 tops. That is petty cash for the Philadelphia.
