Tebow Offered Contract by KISS-Owned Arena Team

Since being released by the New England Patriots prior to the 2013 NFL regular season, there has been plenty of speculation about where quarterback Tim Tebow could potentially land. If rock-and-roll legends Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have their way, though, he could be joining their new Arena Football League team.

According to Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, the L.A. KISS have offered Tebow a three-year contract.

As incredible as Tebow playing in the Los Angeles market for a team named after one of the greatest bands of all time would be from a media perspective, it doesn't seem likely that it will come to fruition.  

According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today, Tebow still wants to play in the NFL, so he is not prepared to accept an offer from an AFL team or even a Canadian Football League team for that matter at this time.

Upon being cut loose by the Pats, Tebow made it abundantly clear on Twitter that he is not done chasing his dream of being an NFL quarterback.

Based on how poorly Tebow performed during the preseason, though, playing a year in another league may not be a terrible option. After all, there is little doubt that the KISS will start Tebow and give him every opportunity to succeed. It means that there would be plenty of eyeballs on Tebow and his performance.

After damaging stints with the Patriots and New York Jets, Tebow needs to show talent evaluators that he can still get the job done. The AFL is certainly a far cry from the NFL, but future NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner is one of many players who successfully made the jump from the Arena League to the NFL.

Despite that, Tebow appears to be set in his ways. Perhaps that will ultimately prove to be a good thing, though, since he doesn't seem like the type of guy who likes to rock and roll all night, and party every day.
