NFL, NFLPA Agree to Replace 2024 Pro Bowl With Skills Competition, Flag Football Game Again
This is the second year that the Pro Bowl has been replaced
Following the new precedent set with the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a deal to replace the 2024 Pro Bowl, per Pro Football Talk.
The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will once again consist of a skills competition during the week, followed by a seven-on-seven flag football game on Sunday. Lineman will participate in a "skill-related activity" rather than the flag football game.
The players on the winning team at the Pro Bowl Games will receive $88,000 each, while the losers will earn $44,000 each.
The Pro Bowl replacement for the second year is in response to concerns about players suffering injuries during a Pro Bowl played in full pads with the format of a normal game. Players were already starting to back off the intensity prior to the new agreement last year.
The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will take place on Feb. 4 in Orlando, one week before Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
