ATL - Rodgers to PIT

Post #1141 » by **MickeyDavis** » Thu May 15, 2025 8:04 pm

One ACL or season ending injury and all hell will break loose. I'm guessing the stars will not participate but I have no idea.

NFL owners will vote next week on a resolution that would allow players to participate in flag football during the 2028 Olympics, according to a memo the league sent to teams this week and released publicly Thursday.

According to the resolution, "participation by NFL players in flag football during the 2028 Summer Olympics ... 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."

Permission for any player under NFL contract to participate in tryouts

A limit of one player per NFL team on each national team participating

Allowing, in addition, a team's designated international player to play for his home country

A purchase of leaguewide insurance policies to provide injury protection for any player injured while participating in an authorized flag football activity related to the Olympics

A salary cap credit for any player who is injured

An expectation that Olympic flag football teams will establish medical staffs and field surfaces that comply with NFL minimum standards

A schedule that "does not unreasonably conflict with an NFL player's league and club commitments."

Owners will gather Tuesday and Wednesday in Eagan, Minnesota, to consider the resolution among other league business at a previously scheduled league meeting. Commissioner Roger Goodell, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and other key league officials made their support for participation at the Olympics clear during their most recent meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, last month.

The 2028 Summer Olympics are scheduled to take place from July 14, 2028, to July 30, 2028. NFL players are typically off during most of that period. At worst, flag football participants would miss the start of training camp.

I remember when Robert Edwards nearly had his leg amputated after injuring himself in a flag football game at the pro bowl during his rookie year. Never was the same after that and was out of the league shortly thereafter. I think that was on the beach, whereas this will be on turf at least.

That is ALOT of coin for Purdy

I support SF handing out a deal like that and hopefully they continue to do so in the future

What other choice did they really have?

They should have signed Darnold for 5/160m and traded Purdy.

That's a purdy penny to pay for a game manager.

Lol at anyone mentioning flag football and "The Dream Team" in the same sentence. Settle down Ian.

Does anyone other than US and Canada actually play American Football?

Flag football is pretty damn far from the NFL.

Honestly could see world athletes making it a much tighter competition then some would expect.

That said it is a step forward to grow the game globally

Jaire Doubbs and LVN for Tj Watt would be interesting.
