Guys like Elliott Friedman have said he's hearing "many" owners don't want to play this year given the losses.
Neither you nor I can determine if that's a bluff or not, but given the calculations it sure doesn't seem like it.

Personally, I don’t think it’s a bluff. I think most teams are going to lose more money if they do play. If the season is lost, it could hurt the brand, which is a difficult thing to put an exact cost on, but there will come a point that the risk of that is less than the real-money they will lose if a season goes ahead without gate revenues.
I suspect the players will eventually give in. It will be an easy decision to cancel the season if the players don’t want to cooperate.
