Roger Goodell while talking to Mike Florio of PFT admitted the NFL Owners are considering every option available to them, including shutting everything down.
The players are expected to win the Appellate Court decision lifting the lockout.
The next available option for the Owners would be to "go out of business" on paper, which would not be a violation of the terms and conditions of the injunction because on paper, the NFL will cease and desist all operations.
The owners believe this will force the players back to the bargaining table. Here is the thread.
