Broncos' Sean Payton talks opportunity to coach Tom Brady in international flag football tournament

The Kansas City Chiefs could start the season 0-2 for the first time since 2014 if they lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady discuss how much pressure is on Patrick Mahomes entering Week 2.

Sean Payton, the head coach of the Denver Broncos, spoke about the opportunity to coach Tom Brady and other NFL stars during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic next year.

Brady is ending his retirement once again — sort of – as he joins the fray. The seven-time Super Bowl winner will be among current and former NFL players who will compete in a three-team flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia in March.

"I had gotten a text from Tom, and he was explaining what the tournament was," Payton said. "I looked at the calendar, it’s a vacation week. I don’t travel much. I think more importantly, it’s significant when it comes to growing our game with the Olympics not that 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 in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21 at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Payton, Pete Caroll and Kyle Shanahan have been tapped as coaches.

Flag football is scheduled to debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Active NFL players have received clearance to participate. Payton could be a candidate for a future Team USA coaching role.
