2025 NFLPA Team Report Cards

Was this for Vrabel? I really thought it was for Mayo lol

Yes, that was from the Tennessee report last year. Although Mayo received the same grade this past season.

I think the players liked Mayo and understood he was in a weird situation. I don't think, from a player's perspective, it was really held against him as much as we think. I know we as fans have a different take, but it seems like players actually respected Mayo.

Edit: JFC how many more times could I squeeze "players" into this post.

Obviously when ownership gets a “D”, the Patriot Way is Bologna sandwiches

When you are winning you can get away with a Bologna sandwich, but when you are 4-13 in consecutive years & feed your players Bologna you show that any success you had is gone and you have little to NO commitment to win anymore

These rankings are like prestige points for UFA's. If you sign with a team that has a high grade it's like taking home a trophy in front of your peers. Sign with a team that has low grades and you are a loser.

Not sure how Kraft did not appreciate this last year and make more of an effort to fix it.
It means something to the players and NFLPA using it as leverage.

Miami- no state tax, A+ grade. All other things being equal...its Miami as the destination spot.

Damn it. Now theyre gonna win another superbowl just like last year with all these primo players they’re accumulating.

NFLPA Team Report Cards 2025

One of our core jobs as a union is to improve the overall working conditions for our players, which includes the daily experience of players at the team facilities away from the lights and cameras.1,695 of our players provided information to share with one another about their current club, to...

nflpa.com

Treatment of Families: C+

Food/Dining: C

Nutrition/Diet: B

Locker room: C-

Training Room: C-

Training Staff: C+

Weight Room: F

Strength Coaches: B

Team Travel: F

Head Coach: B+

Ownership: D (maybe he should stop asking the players for massages)

Disgraceful.

I just find it ironic that a team consisting of many, many players who arguably aren't good enough to be in the NFL can be so tone deaf. They ought to be on their knees thanking whomever that they live a privileged, luxurious life that 99% of our total population can't even fantasize about. Spoiled assholes...

 

[Kasmir]

Hope this drives a stake in the heart of Bob's HoF hopes.

 

[Grogan14]

I think Bob could have sprung for WiFi, have the ash trays removed and improve the seats.
Yes the players sre spoiled and overpaid but this is the cost of doing business.
Kraft knows they had trouble Attracting free agents last year
So why not be proactive?

 

[Huckleberry1]

This is what? The third year in a row we have been in the bottom half of these surveys? I know theyre redoing the weight room and practice fields and all that but the plane situation should have been handled by now.

The Patriots are worth over 6 billion. They should be getting A+ ‘s across the board. I’m appalled they are cheaping out on this ****.

 

[Love The Drake]

This is not great, I think I’d want to go to Miami.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Did the NFLPA review Bob's bologna sandwiches? I'm interested to know what they thought.

I'm eating Bologna sandwiches for lunch this week because I like them. The complaints of athletes, the lowest paid of whom make much more than the average American, are far, far down on my list of concerns, though Kraft, as team owner, should probably be paying attention.

 

[Brick27]

Lol. Lmao even

What an insult to the coaching profession to have that ****wad rated a B+

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Rams and Chargers share a stadium but one gets an A for locker room and other gets a C+. Would love to see the difference,,,

 

[PatsfanTN]

Embarrassing. Again.

 

[TommyD4207]

The *****ing about the plane is a real nut punch to The Scatback and The Nebbish. That isn’t getting fixed on the cheap. Does every NFL team have its own plane?

You understand Kraft is worth BILLIONS of dollars, right?
The cost to make the seats on the plane bigger, is the equivalent of you getting a coffee at DD on the way to work.
Similar the cost of all the things that need fixing (the rug in the locker room, the antique weight room).

But instead he spends hundreds of millions on a scoreboard nobody asked for.

 

[Dedhampatsfan]

Key context here is the range of responses between best and worst. Like the question about Mayo being efficient with their time. The answer was 93%, which ranked 20th. 20th out of 32 isn't good.... but if it's a 53 man roster then 93% of them answering yes means that only about 4 players said no. I'm sure it's not as simple as just 53 players because of IR, practice squad and all that, but you get the point.

Obviously the ranking is bad and a bad snapshot of the team for free agency, but I do think there's some context missing when this stuff comes out. Needs the context of the disparity between best and worst to truly understand how bad they are.

The release stated 1695 players were polled. That would be 53 players per team.

 

[raduray]

The new facility will have new weight room, new locker room, they will have new trainers etc. Not sure this is meaningful until after 2026, you can easily sell free agents on what's coming in 2 years. You pay them they will come. Not complicated.

When will the new facility be ready?

 

[raduray]

The plane thing is odd given how regularly Kraft tries to flaunt “air kraft”.

Seems like an easy fix…trade them in for newer models. It’s write-off anyway.

Just revamp the interior. Better seats, more spacing. No need for a new plane.
