Tebow re-ups with ESPN as analyst on SEC Network

ESPN has announced a multiyear agreement with Tim Tebow, who will continue as an analyst on the SEC Network.

Tebow has worked as a studio analyst for the SEC Network since its 2014 debut. He will remain part of “SEC Nation,” the network’s traveling Saturday pregame show.

The 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback is currently playing minor league baseball in the New York Mets organization. The 29-year-old Tebow is hitting .242 with two home runs in 26 games for the Columbia Fireflies of the Single-A South Atlantic League.

Tebow helped the University of Florida win national championships in 2006 and 2008 before being selected in the first round of the NFL draft by the Denver Broncos in 2010. He hasn’t played in the NFL since 2012 with the New York Jets.

Bettis out

Hall of Famer and NFL analyst Jerome Bettis is the latest to fall victim to the massive round of job cuts at ESPN.

An ESPN source told The Post that all employees were informed of their layoffs at the same time and tha some have chosen to complete assignments at, for instance, the NBA and NFL drafts. The network chose, though, to let the employees share their status publicly rather than announcing just who was being laid off. Among the biggest NFL names to emerge: Trent Dilfer, Danny Kanell and Ed Werder. Bettis has not commented on his status, which was reported by the Sporting News’ Michael McCarthy.

Others laid off include Jayson Stark, Britt McHenry, Marc Stein, Andy Katz, Jade McCarthy, Jaymee Sire, Chris Hassel, Jay Crawford and Sara Walsh, who learned of her layoff the day after she had returned to Bristol, Connecticut, from maternity leave.

Bettis, a former Pittsburgh Steeler known as “The Bus,” joined the network in 2013 and appeared on “NFL Live,” “SportsCenter” and ESPN Radio. Before that, he worked for NBC Sports and the NFL Network. Bettis capitalized on his popularity by moving right from the Steelers’ Super Bowl XL victory into broadcasting. He joined NBC’s “Football Night in America,” but was replaced by Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison in 2009.
