If the owners today decided they were happy with $20 tickets, $2 beers, $50 Sunday Ticket, 16 games a year, etc... the salary cap wouldn't increase and would actually shrink and you'd find player salaries also coming back down.
Player salaries are only increasing because the owners keep finding and implementing ways to make more and more money from us and other companies (which is ultimately also from us). The players don't control how much money the NFL charges us, that's the owners. The players just get their negotiated share of whatever that number is, regardless if it's $1b or $20b.
