In almost every business the product is the owner/employee.
I sale, install, and refinish hardwood floor. They purchase my product because they are purchasing me. They could go to Home Depot and get similar shit for cheaper, but I sell them myself and my employees while the actual product is almost an afterthought.
We have a fairly rare skillset, but not nearly as rare as a 260 lb LB that can run a 4.5 40. I can't just go out and hire anyone off the street to fill an opening, just like an NFL player. If I don't find one, I will be patient until someone with the skills fits the bill.
The NFL will be the same way. If the current players do not want to work for millions, the NFL will shut down until they buckle and accept the new terms, or wait for a new crop of the same skill level players coming out of college that are fine with working for lower pay.
It will take time (5-10 years), but the level of play will come back.
It won't get that far. Owners will shut it down and watch the players slowly implode.
