Analysis

There are 4 teams with only 2 QBs on roster: New England, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Baltimore. Each of these teams has a well-established starter that the team is fully committed to. Consequently, none of these teams are rumored to be overly interested in drafting a QB this year. No team goes into training camp with just 2 QBs. That means that each of these teams is likely to pick up at least one free agent QB between now and mid-June.

Teams for Tebow

With 6 weeks until the NFL draft, most teams are posturing to fill their biggest needs.  No need is bigger than quarterback, so those teams with an unsettled situation at that position are focused on fixing it.  Their actions can give some insight into where Tim Tebow might have a shot at a roster spot going into training camp.  As Yogi Berra said, "predictions are hard, especially about the future".  My prediction: the Browns and Patriots are Tim's best and perhaps only shots.
