So basically we're saying, "We got punished. Teams who underspent didn't. Tough shit."?
That's what makes me think that it might be an ugly route to take, but if arbitration isn't satisfactory, legal proceedings might be the only avenue.

Agree, but doubt legal proceedings will happen. Better to take this licking and move on, imo.
Best hope is that they negotiate a reduced penalty in order to make this go away quickly and keep any dirty laundry private. NFLPA is entitled to discovery on any documents produced for this arbitration. With 29 owners behind him, Goodell is going to win this, but may not want to drag out a fight.
