According to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter, this free agent period is about to get a whole lot weirder for Chip Kelly and the Eagles. The most brilliant, but confusing mind of this NFL offseason is opening Pandora's Box today:

Tebow hasn't played in the NFL since being cut by the Patriots in training camp two years ago, and he hasn't seen an official NFL snap since 2013. News of Kelly's interest in Tebow comes a week after Tebow was reportedly prepping for the Veteran's Combine by training with Tom Brady's quarterback coaching guru, Tom House.

UPDATE:
Somebody went in and altered Tebow's Wikipedia entry...
1.
...but sadly, the Eagles will not be signing Tebow at this time:
