Sean Payton, the coach of the Denver Broncos, talked about the opportunity to train Tom Brady and other NFL stars during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic next year.
Brady is finishing his retirement once more or less, while joining the fray. The seven -time Super Bowl winner will be among the current and previous players of the NFL that will compete in a three -team flag tournament in Saudi Arabia in March.
“He had received a text message from Tom, and he was explaining what the tournament was,” Payton said. “I looked at the calendar, it’s a week on vacation. I don’t travel much. I think, what is more important, it is significant when it comes to growing our game with the Olympic Games not so far around the corner. There are three teams playing one day in a round-robin format. Then a final championship game.”
Brady will join Saquon Barkley, Ceedee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Maxx Crosby, Rob Gronkowski and others at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 at Kingdom Arena in Riad. Payton, Pete Caroll and Kyle Shanahan have been chosen as coaches.

Payton suggested that Brady, a seven -time Super Bowl champion, could handle the field marshal tasks for the flag football team that trains in 2026.
“I don’t know if he had any condition. One of them could have been, because he is playing, so it could have been that he is my field marshal in that game,” Payton said in reference to Brady adding his name to the list of tournament participants.

“I have to look at 5 against 5 [rules]. When I heard it immediately … I have enough headaches at this time, but at some point, it will be interesting to see how that game is played. I think it’s a great opportunity for three or four days travel abroad and be with some good people. “

Meanwhile, Payton’s main approach remains on the visit of Los Broncos to Los Angeles this weekend for a game against the chargers.
