One would think but you may not want to place that bet... game checks are a derived from salary not vice versa. Cap drives salary, salary drives game checks.. If they added 3 more checks to a season they would just take the salary and add 3 to the divisor and pay smaller checks.

The NFLPA cant "require", they must negotiate on a CBA renewal and when the NFLPA negotiates with the owners the NFLPA is the least skilled negotiator with the least leverage in the room.

Besides that, television is a huge part of what drives the cap and removing the network revenue for preseason games would lower the cap.
