NFLPA Report Cards Reveal Poor Player Ratings for Patriots, Cardinals

The NFL Players Association's latest report cards reveal dismal ratings for the New England Patriots, who ranked 31st out of 32 teams, falling from 29th the previous year. Key criticisms include a lack of modern facilities and significant issues with team travel, where only 39% of players reported adequate comfort during flights. Owner Robert Kraft acknowledged the poor ratings and announced a $50 million investment in a new facility, expected to open in 2026, which may improve conditions. Meanwhile, Jets owner Woody Johnson received the lowest ownership grade in the league, as players felt conditions worsened following previous feedback. The Cardinals also faced harsh criticism, finishing last overall due to outdated facilities. The report highlights the need for NFL teams to address player concerns regarding travel, treatment, and facilities to foster a better work environment.
