But the league hopes to make it more competitive, and it's willing to think outside the box to do so. NFL Network's Albert Breer spoke with a high-ranking NFL official Tuesday who outlined some possible changes.
* The game could be moving from Hawaii, with locations in other states possible.
* Instead of lump-sum compensation determined by winners and losers, payouts could be broken down by halves or even quarters to keep the game competitive throughout.
* Two-minute warnings could be added to the end of the first and third quarters, to, in Breer's words, "produce games within the game to create tangible rewards in making every play more important." There could also be rewards for big plays.
* There's a possibility that traditional AFC vs. NFC rosters could be replaced by a draft. The NFL is considering having captains from each side select the players, and the details, according to Breer, could include the opportunity to televise the draft, and to pick uniforms, team names and rules.
I actually like this idea. wat do you guys think?

Doesn't hockey do something like that? Or are they still US vs the world?

So while the league is trying to limit injury they are also trying to further incentivize the game for players, risking injury in a meaningless game???
The draft is kinda dumb.

How about the NFL just pays to send a bunch of fans to Hawaii instead of the players?
Money better well spent!

The Pro Bowl is awful.
I don't know why I continue to defend it.

Pro Bowl needs to die. It will never be a hard fought game because the gameplans will be so basic and the players don't have any desire of trying their hardest because they don't want to get hurt.

NHL does this already. The draft is the best part of the weekend. Still, no one still cares about the actual game. I wish they'd do a World Cup every second year there isn't the Olympics.

I would put it in the Super Bowl town played in the same stadium the weekend before. Make it part of the Super Bowl ticket package. Have a big Sunday of it with events like All Star weekend in the NBA.
If they are tired of the defense being so shitty, thye could make two seperate defensive squads per team, alternate quarters, and have financial incentives for them to give up less points than the other squad.
