The Arizona Cardinals have a problem still.
They are no longer the worst, but they are now the second worst in terms of grades from the NFLPA, which will no longer make the grades public won’t stop reporters from checking things out, and giving us the information.
ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler dropped the hammer:
The Pittsburgh Steelers finished in last place for the first time in the four-year history of the union’s survey. Last year, the Steelers ranked 28th. The Arizona Cardinals finished 31st in the 2026
survey, after a last-place finish in 2025, and the Cleveland Browns finished in 30th, the same as in 2025.
The reality, being in the bottom, whether worst or second worst is unacceptable. Until the Cardinals are in the top 20 of the league, which is not good still, but at least a leap up the rankings, then the pressure needs to be continued to be put on the Cardinals from the fans and media.
This isn’t an organization that is at least a good NFL team that wins all of the time, and then just struggles in other aspects.
They’ve been to the NFL Playoffs nine times in their histories existence, post merger, and only six times in their time in Arizona.
Fix things, Michael Bidwill.
