Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst concerned about NFL players competing in 2028 Olympics

The NFL has turned its draft into a year-long, big-business bonanza.

Imagine what it could do with the global money machine also known as the Olympics.

League owners signaled they are ready to push their chips all in on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics when they voted yes May 20 to giving the players the opportunity to compete in flag football.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is ready to throw a red flag at the idea as he is concerned about possible injuries.

"I think overall, [flag football as an Olympic event is] a great thing," Gutekunst told ESPN.
