If a NFL game is not played or forfeited, obviously the NFL owners would not want to play the players. The NFL owners (as most of the world) probably never guessed that a pandemic would hit when they negotiated the CBA back in 2017 or 2018 so I doubt if "Covid Protocols" are mention in the agreement. However, the playing or not playing of a game and the payment or no payment to players - absolutely. It may be a crock of crap but if the game isn't played - there is $$$ revenue lost, the NFL owners simply pushed that crap on down stream to all the players.
Personally I believe the NFL owners could care less about the political issue the to vaccinate or not vaccinate has become. Heck, a few of them probably are not vaccinated themselves. However, the real issue here as it is most often is $$$$$. Whatever it takes to get the games played, the NFL is on board with. Vaccination has proven to be effective. The players can either get on board or sit/not play. It's nothing personal, it's just business - ie $$$$$.
