The NFL and the NFLPA agreed to “revise the gambling policy” for both the "last ever (for now) Pro Bowl in 2022 and first ever Pro Bowl Games in 2023," according to Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK. It is “somewhat surprising the league and union agreed to anything regarding the gambling policy,” given that the union has “conceded that the NFL has full power to determine the contours of the gambling policy unilaterally, without collective bargaining.” The outcome is “still a little wonky.” Players who did not qualify for the Pro Bowl Games “can go to Las Vegas that week and legally place wagers via apps on their phones.” Players who qualified for the Pro Bowl Games “cannot” (NBCSPORTS.com, 6/14). Meanwhile, Florio in a separate piece cited a source as saying that “one NFL player lost” $8M through gambling in 2022 (NBCSPORTS.com, 6/14).
