Former college and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has been released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, ending his attempt at a comeback as a tight end.

He thanked the team in a tweet Tuesday.

The 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback was reunited with Urban Meyer, his former head coach at Florida.

Tebow, 34, hadn’t played football since the 2015 NFL preseason and had spent the past six years working as a broadcaster on the SEC Network and working on his professional baseball career.

He was adamant about being a quarterback during his previous six-year stretch in the NFL with the Broncos, Jets, Patriots and Eagles, but he had a change of heart with Meyer running the Jaguars.
