NFL Rumors: Tim Tebow To the Minnesota Vikings If Josh McDaniels Is Hired?

Ever since John Elway was introduced as the newest member of the Denver front office, there has been rampant speculation that quarterback Tim Tebow may not remain in a Broncos uniform for very long.

While there is nothing concrete to suggest that Tebow is on the trading block just quite yet, SI's Peter King reported that if ex-Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels is hired as the offensive coordinator under Leslie Frazier in Minnesota, he could make a strong push for the team to bring his pet project Tebow to the Vikes.

With Brett Favre heading toward retirement, Tavaris Jackson departing via free agency and Joe Webb looking nowhere near ready to handle the offense on a full-time basis, Tebow would immediately become the starter for the team should they decide to bring him aboard.

There will be a new coaching regime in place in Denver (yet again), and it's likely that the group will want their own men on the 53-man roster. The Broncos find themselves in a tremendously delicate situation, as the personnel moves made by McDaniels have really put the team in a precarious position.

If the Broncos are hoping to turn around the franchise that Elway helped lead to greatness, it begins with installing some continuity. The team's biggest problem has been its inability to commit to any coach or player on a long-term basis other than its quickly aging veterans.

There are several holes to fill on the roster, most of which are on the defensive side of the ball. However, Tebow may not be every perspective head coach's first choice as a starting quarterback, and therefore it seems increasingly likely that Tebow may play elsewhere next season despite surprising success toward the end of the regular season.

One thing remains crystal clear through all of this:

Tim Tebow most definitely has a future in this league as a legitimate starting quarterback.
