As if the Eagles' offseason weren't crazy enough, Chip Kelly is reportedly poised to sign Tim Tebow tomorrow, per a report from Jay Glazer of FOX Sports:

The Eagles had previously worked out Tebow, but he left without signing. The Eagles currently have four quarterbacks on the roster: Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez, Matt Barkley, and GJ Kinne.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Eagles unsuccessfully tried to trade Barkley before acquiring Tebow:
Before signing Tebow, the Eagles first wanted to try to trade backup quarterback Matt Barkley. But when the team could not get enough in return, it decided to bring in Tebow anyway so that he could be present for the team’s entire off-season program.
Here are the Eagles offseason gains and losses if Tebow does indeed sign, in stick figure form:
