I’m sure Vinnie Mac would love to bring in some “name” players for the first season of his new league. I agree that Tim Tebow would be an excellent choice to sign. However, he’s still pursuing a baseball career with the Mets organization. I saw an item the other day saying that the Mets had invited him to spring training (don’t know if that’s been confirmed or not, however.) In two years, when the XFL is ready to start play, Tebow will know whether or not he’ll be able to play baseball at the major league level. If he does make the Mets roster, I can’t see him giving that up to roll the dice on the XFL. Also, would McMahon be willing to match the kind of money that Tebow could make playing for the Mets?
In 2 years Tebow will be 32.
When a team looks at a player, they aren't just concerned for today or this year. They are thinking 2-3-5 years out. They are thinking trade value.
Tebow is a good name.
But he brings very little to the table from a business stand point.
How old will Tebow be in 2020? He will be at least 5 years out of football by then. Not easy to come back.
