If Tim Tebow wants to make a return to football, it looks like he's finally got an offer on the table. The former Florida Gators quarterback would even get to potentially play in the state of Florida.
Tebow's football offer comes from Steve Spurrier, who was officially named as the coach of the Orlando franchise in the Alliance of American Football on Saturday. Spurrier doesn't have any players yet, but it sounds like he would be very interested in adding Tebow.
"That would be wonderful," Spurrier said on the Open Mike radio show Monday, via the Orlando Sentinel. "I think Tim knows about our league. He knows he's welcome to come down [to Orlando] and play. Obviously, if his baseball career is going well, he may decide to stick with it, which I would certainly understand. But if it doesn't go too well and he has the urge to play football, we would certainly welcome him in Orlando."

I look forward to it.
I like Tebow. He is a decent guy. I think has a better future in baseball. He did the NFL thing already and it didn’t work out.
Tebow-deniers in 3, 2, 1...
I deny Tebow exists. He’s just a figment of your imagination.
“I like Tebow. He is a decent guy. I think has a better future in baseball. He did the NFL thing already and it didn’t work out.”
Well, the clock has been running on Tebow, same as everyone. And, he is starting to age out of any decent playing opportunities. If I were him I would stay with being a sports personality.
Alliance of American Football
Who?
How’s that been working out for the NFL, since they drummed Tebow out...?
“Alliance of American Football
Who?”
NFL? What’s that?
No denier here. He’s just not good enough for the NFL. This league however might be perfect for his skills. I imagine it will be lots of run and gun, with little defense.
That being said he’s getting up there in age (close to or 30 I think), and is this really what he wants to be doing? Playing in some football minor league? He’s better off playing baseball.
Amazing how someone not good enough for even a backup position in the NFL won a playoff game against a very good defense. While Geno Smith lives on.
“Amazing how someone not good enough for even a backup position in the NFL won a playoff game against a very good defense.”
He was good enough. Some people just don’t want to admit that he was black-listed for his religious beliefs.
He is 30, going on 31.
Like Kurt Warner & Reggie White were?
Age 30 is really late to be trying to gain entry into football. Defenses have 23 Y O linebackers and safeties who look like someone crossbred a cheetah with a rodeo bull, and they hit so hard it’ll change your world view.
Tebow doesn’t need football.
American Football
I might watch that. Stream it.
Luck only gets you so far.
Five years since playing any kind of organized football.
Baseball, Binghamton Rumble Ponies stats for TT so far:
11 AB, 2 H, 6 SO
Not to mention Russell Wilson, Aaron Rogers, Drew Breeze, Prince Amukamara of the Giants, and dozens of others. The only difference between these players and Tebow is that they have the ability to play football at the NFL level and Tebow doesn't.
