NFLPA Report Cards: How Every NFL Team Stacks Up in 2025
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) 2025 report cards are in, and they reveal which teams players love—and which ones they can’t wait to leave. Players graded their teams on facilities, food, travel, locker rooms, training staff, family treatment, and coaching. This gives us a real look at life inside every franchise.
Some teams made major strides, while others kept ignoring player concerns. Here’s how all 32 teams ranked this year from worst to best.

No surprises here—the Cardinals are dead last. Players hate the facilities, food, and lack of investment from ownership. The locker room is outdated, the weight room is too small, and even the travel conditions are below average. Owner Michael Bidwill continues to rank poorly for not prioritizing player well-being, and even small improvements—like better food and game-day family access—haven’t been made.

The Patriots received a C- grade for their locker room and an F for team travel. These ratings are enough to show dissatisfaction in these areas. While a $50 million facility upgrade is in the works, the Patriots still sit near the bottom. Change is coming, but not fast enough for players.

A tight locker room and an understaffed training room contributed to Cleveland’s low ranking. Players have also cited the Browns’ lack of a dedicated family room. While the head coach was not heavily criticized, reviews regarding his receptiveness to player feedback were mixed. On a positive note, the newly improved weight room was well received.

The Jets players aren’t happy with the facilities or food quality, but their biggest issue is Owner Woody Johnson, who received one of the lowest scores in the league. Players feel like the team isn’t investing in improvements, which has led to one of the biggest drops in rankings this year.
Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers received a C- for their locker room, indicating below-average satisfaction. However, the training staff was graded B-, ranking 20th, which is not considered poor. The treatment of families improved to a C- grade, with the introduction of game-day childcare contributing to this positive change.

It’s weird how, even in 2025, players are still complaining about plumbing problems in the Buccaneers’ locker room. Problems like bad smells, poor food quality, and outdated facilities dragged their score down. Investing in facility upgrades, particularly addressing plumbing issues and food quality, could improve player satisfaction and potentially enhance the team’s ranking.
Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are recognized as a successful team. However, players have expressed concerns about certain facilities. The Chiefs’ locker room received a D- grade. The weight room was graded C+, so it may not be considered outdated. Team travel received a B grade as well. However, family treatment has improved, and the team recently hired a full-time dietitian.
Carolina Panthers

Players aren’t thrilled that coaches fly first class while they squeeze into economy seats. That’s just one of many complaints. Poor family accommodations and an unpopular turf field are also added to the list. Owner David Tepper also received criticism, and players feel the organization doesn’t prioritize their well-being as much as other teams.
Cincinnati Bengals

Their ranking remains low due to off-field concerns, even though the Bengals received praise for their upgraded locker room. They are one of three teams without game-day childcare and one of ten without a dedicated family room. Players also voiced concerns about the team’s food program, noting the lack of a full-time nutritionist.
Buffalo Bills

Winning games is great, but flying in cramped seats isn’t. Players gave travel accommodations an F-, calling it one of the worst in the league. The training staff also took a hit, but at least the weight room and Sean McDermott’s leadership received praise.
Philadelphia Eagles

Across the board, players called out the lack of space in the locker room, weight room, and team flights. While the team culture and coaching staff received solid grades, many feel that without expansion plans, things will continue to feel too tight.
Los Angeles Rams

Players aren’t happy with the temporary practice facilities and are frustrated with the lack of consistency in the team’s setup. The Rams are also one of two teams that charge players for game-day daycare. While coaching and culture ranked well, stability is a growing concern.
New York Giants

The Giants dropped from 8th to 20th in the rankings. The locker room received a C- grade, indicating it may be aging. Players also want ownership to be more involved in facility upgrades as other teams continue to modernize while the Giants lag behind.

The two things that didn’t come off very positively are food options and team travel accommodation. Coaching and strength staff were rated well, though. The locker room is decent, but team flights are cramped, which players weren’t happy about. The Colts sit in the middle of the pack, but some simple improvements could push them higher.
Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville saw one of the biggest declines in rankings, falling from 5th to 18th. The Jaguars received an F grade for the treatment of families. However, the locker room received a B+, suggesting it may not be a significant issue. A family lounge with AC at home games is a common player request. The team is still in good standing overall.
Denver Broncos

Players aren’t thrilled with the locker room, but help is on the way. A new practice facility is in the works, and the Walton-Penner ownership group received positive reviews. Though players gave the current facilities low marks, the team’s commitment to improvement has raised morale.
Tennessee Titans

The Titans made major improvements in how they treat player families. They jumped from a D+ to a B+ in that category. They also gave players better seats on team flights, a welcome change from past seasons. The locker room is still cramped, but things are moving in the right direction overall.

Players didn’t call out any glaring problems but wanted improved training and recovery facilities. Ownership has announced upcoming renovations, which should help boost their standing next year.
Chicago Bears

Players were generally pleased with the locker room and facilities, which contributed to the Bears’ mid-tier ranking. However, coaching stability was a question mark, as Matt Eberflus received mixed reviews from players before the team ultimately decided to retain him.
Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens remain a respected organization, but players aren’t thrilled with the locker room setup. The space is too small, and family accommodations are needed. John Harbaugh continues to be highly rated, and owner Steve Bisciotti earned positive marks. But Baltimore won’t break into the top 10 without some facility upgrades.
New Orleans Saints

The Saints received high marks in facilities and team culture, but the NFLPA report does not specifically mention issues with meal support. While that might seem minor, it’s something that players expect at this level.
Washington Commanders

Going from dead last to 11th in just one year? That’s the Josh Harris effect. The new owner overhauled facilities, improved family treatment, and enhanced nutrition options. However, the locker room and training areas are still outdated, which prevents Washington from breaking into the top 10.
Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys remain one of the best organizations in terms of facilities. They’ve earned high marks for their locker room and family accommodations. Despite some criticism, players appreciate the former coach’s leadership before his departure. Minor adjustments could push Dallas into the top five of future rankings.
Detroit Lions

The Lions continue to rise in the rankings, proving that team culture matters. Head coach Dan Campbell received an A+ grade for his leadership. However, the nutritionist/dietician category received a B, ranking 23rd in the league, suggesting room for improvement.
San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers ranked well across all major categories, including facilities, dining, and coaching. The one sore spot? It is speculated that they charge players for daycare, one of only two teams to do so. They could easily move into the top five next year if they eliminate that issue.
Green Bay Packers

Players had no major complaints, which is a good thing. The facilities, dining, and coaching all ranked highly. Head coach Matt LaFleur was also praised for his strong leadership. The only minor issue? The locker room could use some renovations. Otherwise, Green Bay remains a top-tier organization for players.
Houston Texans

The Texans have transformed into one of the best franchises to play for. Head coach DeMeco Ryans and owner Cal McNair received strong ratings, and players praised the nutrition program and training staff. While the Texans received high marks overall, they earned a B—for family treatment.
Los Angeles Chargers

A new training facility, improved locker rooms, and a highly rated nutrition program have turned the Chargers into a top-tier organization for players. Players appreciated the upgraded staff and coaching but called travel conditions weaker points.
Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders made huge strides this year and jumped into the top five. A brand-new training facility and improved player support services were big reasons for the rise. Players also appreciated owner Mark Davis’ commitment to investing in the franchise.
Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons jumped from 25th to 3rd this year, and players love the improvements. The team renovated its facilities with an upgraded weight room and enhanced its nutrition program. Head coach Raheem Morris was praised for his efficient time use and strong communication.
Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings remain one of the best teams to play for, thanks to elite facilities, a strong nutrition program, and an overall player-first approach. The training staff was upgraded this year, and players took notice. Minnesota could take the top spot next year if one or two minor facility updates happen.
Miami Dolphins

For the second straight year, Miami ranks No. 1. Players love the top-tier facilities, excellent food, and first-class treatment. Owner Stephen Ross has invested in making the Dolphins a premier destination, and the players rewarded that effort with the highest ratings in the league.
