The only reason they would have had for keeping Tebow was to run possible gimmick plays, and doing that means you have all 3 QBs active on your 46-man gameday roster, and it makes little sense for any team to do that. Very few teams bother keeping 3 QBs on their 53-man roster anymore for that reason.
At the same time, Chip Kelly knows that nobody is going to sign Tebow. So if something happens to Bradford they could easily bring Tebow back. He's basically sitting on the Eagles bench for free.
