EXCLUSIVE

Here's a photo that'll definitely fuel some trade rumors ... NY Jets QB (?) Tim Tebow at a restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida last night ... 11 miles from the stadium where the Jaguars play.

The pic was taken at Latitude 30 ... where Tebow was hanging out with some lady friends ... including a woman who is rumored to be his GF.

There are reports floating around Jacksonville that Tebow will be traded from the Jets to the Jags by Thursday's NFL trade deadline ... but so far, it seems to be nothing more than talk.

BTW --  Tebow grew up in the Jacksonville area ... and went to school at UF ... so it's possible he was just visiting friends.

Also, does anyone think Tebow could help the Jags anyway?
