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.

Not sure I know the bottom line answer to this question but I’m pretty sure the revenue from this home preseason games goes straight into the teams account ledger … not the NFL account ledger
