I wouldn't want NFL players participating in Olympic football.   Injuries happen frequently in the game of football.  Imagine what would happen if a key player for an NFL team had his career derailed as a result of an injury in Olympic football !    Also,  the wear and tear of these extra games could prove costly for many NFL players and their teams.

 

 A much better alternative would be to use players not on NFL rosters,  that could benefit from having the experience of playing in Olympic Football.  Much like some players benefited by playing in the NFL Developmental league that once existed.
