The Facts:
HC Bill Belichick had nothing more to add to the Aaron Hernandez conversation on Friday, but he did return to the subject of Tebow. Asked by a reporter if Tebow would be used exclusively at quarterback, Belichick was decidedly vague."I think that we'll use Tim wherever we feel like he's best for the team," Belichick said, "and I know that's what he's committed to doing, as well. Whatever that is."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That invariably sparks chatter that Tebow will be used as something other than a camp arm behind Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett, but as NFL.com's Marc Sessler suggests, it shouldn't. The release of Hernandez strips the Patriots of a versatile chess piece, but notions of Tebow shifting to play multiple positions are unrealistic. As Sessler explained, New England will find a way to pair Rob Gronkowski with Michael Hoomanawanui and some combination of Jake Ballard and dark-horse Zach Sudfeld. Ballard's speed is shot, but New England has the tools to get by -- and don't rule out a trade before Week 1.
