Before Tim Tebow and the Eagles parted ways last week, coach Chip Kelly had a recommendation for the quarterback: head north.

Per Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Kelly thinks Tebow could gain valuable experience in the Canadian Football League (CFL). It would give him a chance to get in more live game reps. He played in four preseason games before the Birds let him go during the final round of cuts.

The Montreal Alouettes own Tebow's CFL rights, so he would have to play in Quebec if he decided to pursue a career in the league. However, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports says it's unlikely the former Heisman Trophy winner plays in Canada. Why? Because he already has a cushy broadcasting gig at ESPN waiting for him. He can probably make more money talking on TV than he could in the CFL.

Though it appeared Tebow had a great shot at making the Eagles' 53-man roster, the club cut him and then traded away Matt Barkley. The third QB is now Stephen Morris, a developmental signal-caller. The former Florida star was out of the league for almost two years before Philly signed him, so this could mark the end of the road for him.

Tebow will likely resume his duties as a college football analyst for the SEC Network soon. He has a bright future in that line of work.
