Set everything you own to DEFCON 1. Tim Tebow is going to make an NFL roster. Or should anyway, after the Eagles traded Matt Barkley to the Cardinals for a conditional late-round pick, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirms.
The move, first reported by Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, is a stunner in advance of Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline to get rosters down to 53 and opens up the door for Tebow to serve as Philadelphia's third-string quarterback.

Given Braford’s injury history, I’m sure the Eagles #2 is likely to get a lot of playing time.
Will be interesting to see. Not holding my breath but will pleasantly surprised if/when he makes it.
Yes, I watched the game. Tim Tebow looked pretty good and Barkley stunk up the place.
The thing about Tebow is that everywhere he’s gone his teammates love him. Even without getting on the field, he is a positive in the locker room.
assuming the Iggles want a 3rd QB
and not some stupid 2-pt conversion specialist (dumb)
tmz just posted a pic of tim at the airport w/ his bags. I hope it’s not him. I always liked him
3rd string QB-wow!
Saw the highlight film of his performance last night. Tim looks pretty good. His comments after the game were positive/upbeat. A definite asset to an NFL team.
10 days to the next game, do the players go on vacay?
I believe all the Eagles players are off until this Tuesday (Eagles don’t play until Monday night the 14th) so many of them are leaving to visit family.
Football has lost me like Fox News but as a Texan Native and defacto Dallas fan I pray Tebow becomes the Eagles starter.
Being at the airport doesn’t really imply anything other than that he’s going on a trip for Labor Day weekend. All the Eagles players are off until Wednesday.

Not surprised. Tebow’s playing style is well-suited for Chip Kelly’s style of offense.
Tebow reminds me of a young Tom Brady.
If I were the Eagles, I would have traded Sanchez and kept Barkley. Barkley looked good, and Sanchez is Sanchez. He will never be a good starter. Barkley has upside. Tebow is good to have, too, if you have 3. Make other teams prepare for run option, whether you use it or not. Also, good for 2 point conversions, although their success rate in the preseason hasn’t shown it yet.
Tebow better show up on game days!
If and when, led the team to victory as the QB, and get some real support of this team as a whole...
Tim Tebow looked pretty decent last night, far better than Barkley, who stunk up the field. Plus Tebow is good for A LOT of T-shirt sales.
Tebow is the only thing bringing me to the NFL this year.
if he makes the team, it’ll make liberals go bat-sh*t
and that’s always a good thing.
