THE NFL is considering a proposal to allow players to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Flag football is debuting as an Olympic sport in 2028, and many NFL players want to join in on the action.
The NFL released a proposed resolution on Thursday regarding the plan to allow players to enter the Olympics.
It will be decided upon by the owners at NFL spring meetings in Minnesota next week.
If 24 of the 32 owners approve the resolution, the league will negotiate with the players association, Olympic officials, and other governing bodies on the logistics of allowing NFL players into the games.
The resolution is titled “2025 Resolution MC-1 and G-4.”
“Whereas, the membership is committed to supporting the growth of flag football both domestically and internationally,” the proposal reads.
“Whereas, the membership believes that participation by NFL Players in flag football during the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California will support such growth and advance several League interests, including increasing fan and public interest in flag football, expanding the global reach of the NFL, and providing greater opportunities for fan engagement and for our League partners.
“Be it Resolved that the Management Council is authorized to negotiate appropriate arrangements with the NFLPA and, in conjunction with other NFL committees, with national governing bodies and Olympic authorities to implement rules governing NFL Player participation in flag football during the 2028 Olympics, including:
“Permitting players under an NFL Player Contract to try out for a flag football team participating in the 2028 Olympics;
“Limiting NFL Player participation to no more than one NFL Player from the roster of each NFL Club for each team participating in the 2028 Olympics (in addition to permitting each NFL Club’s designated International Player to play for his country).
“Providing appropriate injury protection, and Salary Cap credit, for any NFL Player who is injured while authorized to participate in flag football activities related to the 2028 Olympic Games through the placement of one or more League-wide insurance policies.
“An agreement that Olympic flag football teams will implement certain minimum standards for medical staff and field surfaces to be eligible for an NFL Player to participate in Olympic flag football for such team;
“A schedule for flag football games and related events in such a way that does not unreasonably conflict with an NFL player’s League and club commitments.
“Effect and Reason: To establish rules governing NFL Player participation in the 2028 Olympic flag football games and to address injury risk.
NFL fans are thrilled by the potential of having pro players in the Olympics and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Lamar, Bijan, JJ, Tyreek, Jamarr, Bowers super squad,” one fan said.
