Ted Williams, a homeless man who is the subject of viral video that has captivated the internet at large, has been offered a full-time job and a mortgage on a home by Quicken Loans Arena and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

A woman named Tracy, representing Quicken Loans and the Cavaliers, called WNCI 97.9 on Wednesday morning and made the offer. CNBC's Darren Rovell confirmed the authenticity of the offer on Twitter. Williams was inundated with offers throughout his appearance, so there is no word whether the offer has been accepted or signed at this point.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena have offered Ted Williams, dubbed the "homeless DJ," a full-time job and a home.

Williams' story became a viral sensation on Tuesday with the original YouTube clip reaching more than 4 million views in 24 hours. He was found by a Columbus Dispatch reporter on the side of the road, using his incredible voice to collect money. You can watch the original clip here.

The Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena are offering voiceover work in radio and television along with a new website launch that will require voiceover work from Williams.
