The Dallas Yankees Cowboys are at it already, signing 2 of their players to mega contracts with the money freed by the impending lack of a CBA.  If this is a sign of things to come, it doesn't bode well for the competitive balance of the NFL.  It looks like some jerks people are banking on there not being a salary cap in the future, so they will probably be exerting influence and campaigning to see that it is so.  Maybe the NFL can work something out to avoid going the way of the MLB, but I can't see anything good coming from this.  We may have to live through another decade of dominance from the most obnoxious team in NFL history America's team just based on wallet size.
