Additionally, the NFL Network reported Tebow received no guaranteed money and an injury split, which could impact his salary if he gets hurt during organized team activities, training camp or playing in a game.

Tebow will be competing for a job with rookie Luke Farrell, Tyler Davis, James O’Shaughnessy, Ben Ellefson and Chris Manhertz.

Tebow has only played one snap as a receiver in his career. He said in a statement Thursday he is embracing the challenge of a new role.
