No need to reschedule it ever, imho..

Honestly, they need to just change it to a flag football game where guys can go have fun, not risk (less of a risk) getting hurt, etc. (the Robert Edwards incident notwithstanding). Have them get mic'd up and have it just be an fun interactive experience where maybe they also all get to walk around after it's over and sign some autographs.

There will a lot less bonuses paid this year for making the Pro Bowl... Guys who make it usually opt out leaving second and third tier players to be considered "Pro Bowlers" and getting contract incentives. With no need to opt out this year, there will be less incentives reached....
But he wasn't injured in the game itself but some stupid beach volleyball game or crap of that nature to promote the game....Hopefully they will forget to schedule this next year as well.. ever since Robert Edwards got hurt this event has meant even less than it did before.

Fans want to see a fun game where they can see some of their guys make some plays, hear them talk and it could even be a thing where coaches do some cool stuff with some trick plays and have it at least be entertaining. At least that way, star players won't avoid it to avoid injury and you'd have a chance to see some of the biggest names just out there having a good time. Fans will go if the players they want to see are there and it's a good experience. But it's not real football right now and it probably never will be, so it's time for the NFL to start coming up with a better way to at least make it an event people want to go to/watch.
