Re: Tebow
I agree with Brett ... while I enjoyed the commentary affiliated with this signing, Tebow is clearly only eligible to be signed as a draftee in the upcoming draft - or a FA after that.Rangers wrote:So I think according to our rules we have to revoke this signing. Also might not hurt to add a sentence to actually make something like this legal but until then I believe it's not.

I hadn't really thought about it and we probably should have a while ago. After reviewing the rules and given that he was almost but never previously drafted, I think I have to agree. A tiny part of me feels like the fact that it took us a month to realize it maybe could provide some sort of grandfathering, but that sets a bad precedent. I just hate that a team wasted a roster spot for a month on us. But, ultimately, agree he needs to be drafted or signed as a f/a post-draft.
