If Tim Tebow wants to play football again, he has an offer on the table.
Last year, Tebow had an offer to play in the Alliance of American Football — in Florida, for a former Gators coach. Tebow turned down that chance and the AAF didn’t even last a full season before folding.
This year, Tebow has another offer from an upstart football league, the XFL. Tebow had good things to say about the league during a Mets spring training press conference earlier this week but he reiterated that he’s committed to pursuing a baseball career.
“I love what they’re doing,” Tebow said of the XFL, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY-TV. “I think it has a chance to have success. And I think that’s great. And so I think there needs to be a place for a lot of players that are really good and should and could be playing in the NFL and are better than a lot of NFL players.
“And there’s a chance they’re going to be seen. So I think it’s awesome and I think it’s good for a lot of guys that are going to get a spot on an NFL roster because they’re going show a team that they’re worth it.”
Tebow noted that he has had a “couple conversations” with the XFL but ultimately, baseball is “what I wanted to do and pursue it and be all in.”
