Not at all. The league will be fine. Even if there is an ugly work stoppage, their business will last far longer than any players' careers, and the players had better be well aware of that fact.
The NFL salary system is broken. Blue chip rookies are paid far too much money without ever having proven their ability to play in the league. I'd rather see a system that is weighted toward veteran compensation.
Cap the teams, but also cap the rookies at a much lower rate than they're compensated now.
