Tim Tebow is officially an unrestricted free agent.

As expected, all 31 other teams took a pass on Tebow after the Jets put him through the NFL’s waiver system, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. As a result, Tebow is now free to sign with any team.

The problem for Tebow is, it’s unclear whether any team wants him, even if he’s willing to take a minimum-salary contract. He’s now free to reach out to teams and start trying to convince somebody to give him a shot, but that doesn’t mean anyone will.

And so Tebow’s options may be playing for the Omaha Beef or competing to be a backup on the Montreal Alouettes.
