NFLPA team report cards to be kept private, no longer public

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the National Football League Players Association’s annual team report cards have been ruled as a violation of the league’s CBA and will no longer be made public information.

First

released in 2023, these reports were created as a way to allow players to grade and evaluate their respective organizations across an array of aspects such as locker rooms, eating facilities, head coaches and owners, and even the team’s treatment of the players’ families. The report cards were shared with national media and made available for anyone to access in recent years in an attempt to hold teams accountable in problem areas.

However, it has now been made known that this initiative can no longer be shared outside of those necessary. In the memorandum sent out, it is shared that the league and players’ association will continue to work in conjunction towards building a proper survey to allow teams to receive and respond to feedback from their players.

The final team report cards that were released in February 2025 had the New Orleans Saints ranked 12th out of 32 teams in the NFL. The grades were as follows:

• Treatment of Families • C • 22nd/32
• Food/Dining Area • D- • 31st/32
• Nutritionist/Dietician • B+ • 12th/32
• Locker Room • A- • 9th/32
