Yeah, there's zero chance that the owners would implement this system onto themselves. It adds risk to NFL ownership and probably lowers the value of franchises that go up for sale (because those will for the most part be the unsuccessful franchises).
The only way you could implement this system would be for the owners to say that the system will go into place upon the death of the last current owner. That way, they could do it for the good of the game but do so without causing themselves any harm. It's not noble at all, but it's the only way it could reasonably work.
I'm not sure who the youngest NFL owner is, but it would probably be 40 to 50 years before the new system was implemented, and the question is out whether the NFL will even exist in 40 or 50 years. There are too many people squeezing golden eggs out of the goose.
