TORONTO -- Hes a free agent but the Montreal Alouettes wont be calling Tim Tebow about playing in the CFL. Jamize Olawale Jersey . In fact, if the subject is ever broached, it will have to be by the former Heisman Trophy winner. "Weve never had a conversation with him or his representation," Montreal GM/interim head coach Jim Popp said Monday, adding there wont be one unless Tebow or his management initiates it. "Its all for talk and theres nothing there, theres no substance to it." The former Florida star was cut by New England Patriots at the end of training camp and cleared NFL waivers. Tebow can sign with any NFL team but if he wanted to play in Canada would have to approach the Alouettes, who have him on their negotiation list and own his CFL rights. Many football pundits have suggested Tebow, 26, should head to Canada to play. Trouble is, Tebow has no intention of doing so, tweeting shortly after being released by the Patriots: "I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback." There are questions whether the six-foot-three, 236-pound Tebow could be an effective CFL player. He certainly is mobile but concerns about his passing mechanics and accuracy have created doubt that Tebow could succeed on the longer, wider Canadian field. And Montreal isnt waiting on Tebow. The Alouettes have four quarterbacks, including injured starter Anthony Calvillo (concussion) and Popp said if they decide to add a fifth with the intention of grooming him for the 2014 campaign, it wouldnt be a name player like Tebow. "I dont think they (Tebow camp) would be ready to do that," Popp said. "But if they are . . . Im sure theyll call us." Tebow enjoyed an outstanding college career, leading Florida to two national championships and winning the Heisman Trophy as American college footballs top player. Selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft by Denver, Tebow struggled mightily over three NFL seasons, completing just 47.9 per cent of his passes for 2,422 yards and 17 TDs with nine interceptions. The polarizing quarterbacks popularity reached its peak in the 2012 AFC wildcard game when Tebows 80-yard TD pass to Demaryius Thomas in overtime earned Denver a thrilling 29-23 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But after signing free-agent Peyton Manning, Denver dealt Tebow to the New York Jets on March 21, 2012. Tebow spent just one season with the Jets -- attempting eight passes -- before being released April 29. He signed with New England on June 10. Popp said although many NFL teams are carrying only two quarterbacks, it makes sense for Tebow to keep his options open. "I think every one of them (NFL teams) because of his attitude, work ethic and leadership, hes a winner, would love to have him on their team," Popp said. "Whether teams are willing to have him on the (roster) or change their system for him, thats a whole other story. "Theres a lot of teams that have two quarterbacks in the NFL right now . . . theres going to be guys picked back up and he might be one of them." The Patriots havent necessarily closed the door on Tebows return. On Monday, New England coach Bill Belichick didnt rule out bringing Tebow back this season. In the CFL, teams can have up to 35 players on their negotiation list for as long as they wish. For example, former Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith signed with Montreal in August after Popp first placed him on the neg list in 05. "We store players on our neg list for years and years and years," Popp said. Elite Cowboys Jerseys . He just didnt expect them to be this good.

Yet heading to New York, the Habs remain positive as it all comes down to the one main ingredient that the organization has built its team on - character.TAMPA, Fla. - Drew Brees and New Orleans Saints wrapped up a disappointing season with a nice fourth-quarter comeback, one that actually may help NFC South rival Tampa Bay in the long run.The Buccaneers clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, blowing a 13-point halftime lead on the way to a 23-20 loss on Sunday.Tampa Bay (2-14) will have the top pick for the first time since 1987, when Vinny Testaverde was the selection. Nearly 30 years later, the Bucs could be in the market for another potential franchise quarterback who also has a Heisman Trophy.Brees wouldnt bite on a question about how he and the Saints (7-9) may have lent a hand to the Bucs in landing a player theyll have to face twice a year in the future.I cant really speak for them or (their) draft status or anything else, the New Orleans quarterback said. All I know is we came in to win this game, and we did.As promised, Bucs coach Lovie Smith gave more playing time than usual to some of his younger players, particularly in the second half, when the Saints outgained Tampa Bay 220 yards to 32.Brees shrugged off three interceptions, two of them in the third quarter, to lead a pair of scoring drives to get the victory. Mark Ingram scored on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter, and Brees threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Marques Colston to put the Saints with 1:57 remaining.Tampa Bay had a number of young players on the field, both offensively and defensively during the second-half collapse.The Bucs were unapologetic about the way they locked down the No. 1 pick. They began the day tied for the leagues worst record with Tennessee, which lost to Indianapolis to also finish 2-14.I dont think anybody tanked it. We played the guys we played to rotate guys in and give them a look, Tampa Bay quarterback Josh McCown said. As far as players are concerned, the draft, that stuff is not relevant as far as how were playing. We execute the plays that are called. We competed hard and thats the main thing. Got a chance to evaluate some younger guys as we build this thing.Smith reiterated the plan going in was to substitute a lot.With the lead, if you play pretty good defence, you should be able to hold onto that, Smith said. They made a couple big plays at the end.Doug Martin rushed for a season-best 108 yards aand rookie Mike Evans set a Tampa Bay record with his 12th touchdown reception for the Bucs (2-14), who went 0-8 at home and 0-6 against NFC South rivals. Dorance Armstrong Jr. Jersey. Mark Ingram scored on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter, trimming New Orleans deficit to 20-14. Keenan Lewis interception and return to the 50 led to Brees TD pass to Colston to make it 21-20.It was the 68th time Colston has caught a TD pass from Brees, giving the tandem sole possession of fifth place on the all-time list for most scoring pass plays by a quarterback-wide receiver combination.You couldnt have scripted a better ending, I guess, and we were all aware of it, Brees said.Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison top the list with 112, followed by Steve Young-Jerry Rice (85), Dan Marino-Mark Clayton (79) and Philip Rivers-Antonio Gates (74). Brees and Colston had been tied for fifth with Manning-Reggie Wayne.Theres some pretty prestigious names on that list, Brees said. Rarely do you get that type of longevity with one person.Some highlights and lowlights to disappointing seasons for the Saints and Bucs.POOR PROTECTION: McCown was sacked three times Sunday, once by Junior Galette for a safety that made it 23-20. Bucs QBs were sacked 52 times this season, most since Trent Dilfer and Casey Weldon were taken down 56 times in 1995.PUZZLING SAINTS: New Orleans won its first three home games, then lost the last five. Thats in stark contrast to losing the first four on the road, then rebounding to win four straight away from home.RESILIENT: Brees beat the Bucs twice this season, despite throwing three interceptions in each game.HISTORY-MAKERS: Evans and Vincent Jackson caught passes on the first two plays of the game, making them the first tandem of Bucs receivers to top 1,000 yards in the same season. Its the fourth straight 1,000-yard season — third with Tampa Bay — for Jackson, who left the game later in the first quarter and did not return. Evans 12th TD reception set a franchise single-season record for receiving TDs.NO. 1: The Bucs, who went 0-8 at home and 0-6 in the division, need a quarterback.
