Tim Tebow not in Dolphins' plans despite rumors

Tim Tebow not in Dolphins' plans despite rumors, Tim Tebow is not in the Miami Dolphins' plans for 2013 despite rampant Internet rumor and speculation.

Team sources say Tebow, the former Florida Gator standout and Heisman trophy winner, was not working out for the Dolphins on Thursday, and did not take a physical with the team.

Tebow, who was released by the New York Jets earlier this week, hopes to catch on with another NFL team this summer. But the odds of that being Miami are slim.

The Dolphins passed on adding Tebow last offseason when the Broncos put the former first-round pick on the trading block after acquiring Peyton Manning, and team executives don't believe he's an NFL quarterback.

A team source wouldn't rule Tebow out completely, but said adding Tebow "hasn't been discussed."

In his three NFL seasons Tebow has completed 47.9 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,422 yards with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He's been sacked 41 times and has a cumulative passer rating of 75.3.

The Dolphins have Ryan Tannehill, a 2012 first-round pick, entering his second season as the team's starter, and Matt Moore, who was re-signed this offseason, is viewed as one of the NFL's top backups.
