I love my country but no way do I want them risking injury to play flag football. There are plenty of other Americans who are good enough to easily win gold. Let some newly retired guys do it. Chad would be great on the Olympic team although he’s definitely not newly retired.
Money can’t buy a gold medal. I would think many players will be vying for the honor of representing USA.
I watched his conference. A few takeaways:
- He supported Trey without bashing the Bengals organization
- He's spent the last 18 months with a mindset to grow the NFL brand internationally; he was really hopeful the Bengals would get an international game
- He asked the NFL, jokingly, but in a serious manner, and via this press conference, to please make Baltimore come to Cincinnati for a night/primetime game instead of the Bengals traveling to Baltimore
- He liked doing the Netflix filming because he trusts Peyton Manning, and acknowledged it was more intrusive than he wanted when his house was broken into
- He thus far thinks Burton has shown some personal growth and maturing and that it needs to continue

I 100% get why they want to do it I just wouldn’t want one of the Bengals to get hurt while playing flag football. I’m still scarred by the Robert Edward’s injury at the Pro Bowl back in the 90s.
It’s still a long ways off so who knows who the top players will even be then?

So, this will be in 2028, right. That's 4 more contract renegotiation requests from Trey Hendrickson. Who knows who will even be on the team then.
