This new CBA could be an excellent thing for the small market teams. Of course the leauge will always pander to the owners who tow the company line and stick up for the obscure rule calls and officiating no matter how bad it is (Dan Roony, cough, Pittsburgh, cough, Super Bowl XL cough cough). But if done correctly, the NFL could have as much parity as everyone says it does. This could also help eliminiate East Coast bias.
It's kind of damned if you do damned if you don't for the small market owners. Stick for keeping the Big Cities on the PrimeTime games (a year or two ago both Redskin's / Eagles games were Sun and Mon nighters even though neither made the playoffs the year before.) in order to generate revenue, you won't see KC, Seattle, Minn, Jax etc play very often. Stick up for your small market team and go against the grain you get punished for getting out of line.
