Say 10% of the team is owned by the players and ex-players based on an algorithm designed around how often you played and the impact you made for the franchise. As % get smaller for the players over the years, the value of the franchises increase balancing the scale some, until eventually the players union negotiates a bigger stake.

The owners would never go for that. They would tell the NFLPA to start their own league and build their own stadiums. If the players strike it’s simply the next man up. After a few months of no game checks come fall, 90% of the players would be broke and cross the picket line.
