NFL owners will consider a proposal to allow NFL players to try out for flag football in the 2028 Olympics .

The proposal would allow one NFL player on each roster to play for one country in the Olympics .

It's arguably the best answer the NFL has ever had to motivate the entire world to pick up a football and play with it.

Flag football teams would need to meet a standard of medical care and playing surface mandates to be eligible for NFL players.

It would also need to augment all parts of its schedule so that the player’s NFL schedule would take precedent over everything else.

Some NFL contracts have clauses written into them that prohibit any participation in flag football.
