After being cut by the Jets, Tebow went unclaimed on NFL waivers Tuesday. Tebow’s base salary for 2012 was $1,100,000, and that would have jumped to $6,055,000 for the 2013 season. If he were to accept the offer of The Omaha Beef, an indoor football league team, his pay would be cut to $75 per game.
According to ESPN.com:
The Omaha Beef have a job waiting for Tim Tebow if he wants it -- and the Nebraska indoor football team will even pay him $75 a game. A day after Tebow was cut by the New York Jets, the Beef called the office of Tebow agent Jimmy Sexton to offer a standard player contract.
Beef assistant general manager Andrew Mather said Tuesday that he doesn't expect to hear back, but he thought it was worth asking.
Tebow went unclaimed on NFL waivers Tuesday.
The Beef's quarterback, James McNear, has led the team to a 5-1 start. He's completing 70 percent of his passes and has thrown for 21 touchdowns against just two interceptions.
McNear is anything but insulted by the Beef's wooing of Tebow. "I think Tim can learn a lot from me," McNear said.
