Why would they agree to this?...
because it should also free up salary cap space for players to get paid more and set up a minimum salary cap for teams
Better benefits too:

To be fair, the players have better post-retirement benefits — medical care, pensions, transition programs, and more — under the new CBA. The creation of the $620 million Legacy Fund for pre-1993 players helped correct some mistakes of the past. Players also have a better quality of life, with a shorter offseason program, stricter guidelines on contact in practice, and the elimination of two-a-days in training camp.
you need more data than that to support the conclusion (doesn't mean it isn't true)

this, along with better pension and practice stuff, could've been included with a better split on revenue.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but another couple weeks and the players likely would've gotten a better deal... but as mentioned above.... Billionaires > Millionaires... their ability to hold out was greater, i guess.
