"Still not as weird as the Tebow signing" - NFL fans react to Jacksonville Jaguars jokingly announcing Kevin Durant as new signing

Kevin Durant in a Jacksonville Jaguars jersey is not something NBA fans will want to see. On July 1, the Jaguars tweeted a photoshopped picture of Kevin Durant in a Jacksonville T-shirt saying, "Our next chapter."

This came just days after Durant reportedly requested to be traded by the Brooklyn Nets.

Fans were quick to react to the Jaguars' meme:

One Twitter user said Durant's imaginary signing isn't as weird as the Jaguars signing Tim Tebow.

Another Twitter user claimed that he saw Durant at Whole Foods in Jacksonville.

Given the state of the Jaguars' team, one Twitter user claimed that Durant would be the best player on the roster.

One user heaped praise on the Jaguars' social media department.

Durant announced in June 2019 that he planned to sign with the Brooklyn Nets. They acquired him on July 7, in a sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors.

Durant partnered up with Kyrie Irving at the Nets, who also went on to sign James Harden. The trio were expected to lead Brooklyn to multiple championships, but failed to deliver.

Durant requested a trade after Brooklyn got swept in the first round of the 2022 playoffs by the Boston Celtics.

Jacksonville Jaguars' failed experiment with Tim Tebow

Jacksonville Jaguars Training Camp

On May 20, 2021, after spending six years out of football, Tim Tebow contacted his former coach, Urban Meyer, for a tryout ahead of a potential comeback. The Jaguars liked what they saw and signed Tebow to a one-year contract for the veteran minimum of $920,000 as a tight end.

A few months later, the Jaguars released Tebow, who barely played a game for the franchise. It's safe to say the Tebow experiment was a spectacular failure, and that he only got a chance because Meyer was his former coach.
