the owners would decide they don't want to pay the players as much money as they'd be getting, so, you lockout the players and hire scab for pennies in an effort to force every player to accept smaller paychecks.

The union can threaten that they would decertify and take the nfl to court for anti-trust issues for inssane gobs of money (and its a very real threat that they'd probably win, eventually).

Its going to turn into a total legal scrum once 2008 comes around.
