In any League Year, the NFL may elect, in its sole discretion, not to hold a Pro Bowl game. In such a case, the NFL shall replace the Pro Bowl game with another event (e.g., without limitation, an honors ceremony or NFL press release) that recognizes the accomplishments of outstanding NFL players, provided that the NFL will consult with the NFLPA prior to making its determination. Participation by a player in such a replacement event shall be voluntary. Players who are selected for recognition in such a replacement event, in accordance with the criteria and procedures set forth in Section 2 above, shall be paid the Pro Bowl incentive bonus, if any, in their Player Contract, for such selection. Selection to any replacement event under this Subsection shall be deemed the equivalent of selection to the Pro Bowl on the original ballot for purposes of Article 7, Section 4 (Proven Performance Escalator) and Article 7, Section 7 (Fifth-Year Option for First Round Selections) of this Agreement.
