Goodell has been a very good commissioner, IMO, but losing the salary cap would be a huge stain on his legacy.

I agree, but I'm not sure there is anything he could have done about it.

Players have a new head of their PA with the passing of Gene Upshaw, there seems to be a schism in the owners ranks, NFL is the biggest sport around right now, and I doubt many of the current players have much of a recollection of the previous lockout.

It almost seems like a perfect storm.
