Italian Football Team 'Wants To Sign Former NFL Quarterback Tim Tebow'
It's getting tougher for Tim Tebow to decide what the best thing to do for his career. Should he wait for the National Football League (NFL) to sign him back, or should he go for a television career as a college football analyst with one of the biggest TV networks? To make things even harder, an Italian football team is reportedly keen to sign the former New England Patriots quarterback.
Tebow has been offered a 4-month contract by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), according to ESPN. The Milano Seamen sent a letter to Tebow's agents and few excerpts were posted on the federation's Web site Thursday. The contract was allegedly worth $200,000.
Marco Mutti, president of the Italian football team, said they are anticipating Tebow's answer. "We would be more than happy to have him," Mutti added.
The FIGC season begins in March 2014 and ends in July with the Italian Super Bowl.
Tebow was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2007 with the University of Florida. He received his first-ever break in the NFL with the Denver Broncos in 2010. Two years after, he was signed by the New York Jets to which he played for a year. Tebow last played for NFL with the New England Patriots. He was released Aug. 21.
Tebow, who is a devout Christian, seems to be indifferent of all the talks about what's next for his career. He has neither released a statement nor commented on the buzz, and kept his lips sealed. On Wednesday, he wrote some inspiring words on Twitter. "Join the movement this Christmas season," he tweeted. "Make a difference in someone's life by sharing Faith, Hope, & Love," he noted.
He will let the holiday season pass to contemplate about the smartest move and the right path to take when it comes to his career. What do you think is the best for this former NFL quarterback?
