Tim Tebow admits he had a "couple of conversations" with the people at the XFL -- but ultimately turned down Vince McMahon's new football league to continue his baseball career.
"There was some communication," Tebow told reporters at a Mets Spring Training media event in Florida over the weekend ... "We had a couple conversations."
But the 32-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner says it's not the right move for for him because he's laser focused on making the NY Mets major league roster.
Tebow is entering his 5th season with the Mets -- where he's been trying to earn a spot as a power hitting outfielder.
