What is the story about?

Over the last few years a hot topic across each offseason has been the results of the report cards that the NFLPA puts together. These report cards cover various categories relative to NFL teams and the quality of life they establish for the players within their organization.

These report cards have put some teams in hot water as far as the public eye is concerned as they have raised the notion that some teams do not provide proper training rooms, dining areas, and things of that ilk. Obviously this

is subjective, but the results are interesting to say the least.

Earlier this offseason it was reported that the owners successfully fought to put a stop to these report cards being published as they felt it violated the collective bargaining agreement. ESPN managed to obtain the results of these report cards and published them during the week of the NFL Combine, and for the most part the Dallas Cowboys grade out well.

Here is how the Cowboys grade out this year and over the last three

Thankfully the internet lives forever and we have access to archived materials. The results from 2025, 2024, and 2023 are available here, here, and here. We have organized the data below for a comparison look.

There are a few things that were present in results some years and not others so obviously we cannot cross-reference those thing.

But still, there are several points of consistency for the Cowboys. They grade out well in things like treatment of families, nutrition, the locker room, the weight room, and strength coaches on an annual basis.

On the other side of that coin, the Cowboys have had pretty poor results as far as their training room and training staff over this four-year period. Four years is a pretty legitimate sample size and it would stand to reason that there has been enough data here to warrant some kind of change, or at the very least an open ear to see how this could improve.

Perhaps the Cowboys will take this into consideration, even though this year’s report was not officially authored by the NFLPA. Or maybe it will be more of the (reported) same.
