NEW YORK – Tim Tebow was waived by the Jets on Monday, the end of an unsuccessful one-season experiment in New York.

As a backup to Mark Sanchez, the former Heisman Trophy winner attempted just eight passes after his ballyhooed arrival from Denver in March 2012.

The Jets drafted quarterback Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft Friday, giving them six quarterbacks — and creating uncertainty about Sanchez’s future, as well.

NFL COMMISSIONER Roger Goodell distributed a document to teams reiterating the league’s anti-discrimination policy on sexual orientation.

The document warns that “any jokes, comments or pranks” about an employee’s sexual orientation constitute harassment, and prohibits teams from asking prospects questions such as “Do you have a girlfriend?”
