NFL owners will discuss a proposal to allow players under contract to participate in flag football when the sport makes its Olympic debut in 2028 in Los Angeles.
The league released a proposed resolution on Thursday on the issue that will be considered next week by owners at the spring meetings in Minnesota.
If the resolution is approved by at least 24 of the 32 team owners, the league would be allowed to negotiate with the NFL Players Association, Olympic officials and national governing bodies on the specifics of letting NFL players participate.
“There’s more work to be done there,” NFL executive Jeff Miller said.
