Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has been offered a professional baseball contact from the Bridgeport Bluefish.

The contract offer will allow Tebow to play with the Bluefish for the 2016 season in the independent Atlantic League, according to the New York Post. (RELATED: Report: Tim Tebow Pursuing Pro Baseball Career)

However, it’s highly unlikely that the former Heisman winner will choose to sign with the Bluefish. The team offers no real path the to the MLB.

Tebow will reportedly have some options available to him from MLB teams, so there’s is essentially zero chance he jumps at this offer. (RELATED: Tim Tebow Absolutely Crushes Baseballs During MLB Workout [VIDEO])

The only thing that is guaranteed is whatever team signs the former Denver Broncos quarterback will sell lots of tickets.
