The New York Jets have waived Tim Tebow, after one season in New York.

“We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow,” said Jets head coach Rex Ryan in a statement. “Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped. Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason. We wish him the best moving forward.”

Tebow, who was acquired by the Jets from the Denver Broncos on March 26, 2012, saw action in 12 games during the 2012 season.

Tebow completed 173-361 passes for 2,422 yards, 17 touchdowns, and nine interceptions for a 75.2 passer rating for his career. He also has 989 yards and 12 touchdowns on 197 rushes.
