NFLPA report cards, 2025

Damn, what do the Bengals do to deserve a F- for treatment of families?

From what I’ve read, there’s no where for the player’s families/kids to relax during games, no daycare, no special services for the families, etc.

One anonymous Bengals player called the organization’s treatment of families “almost disrespectful” and they want their families to have more than “just a tent outside in the cold”.

Basically, they want perks for the players’ families that every other team has.

But this is the third year in a row they’ve gotten an F from players in that category, so it looks like the FO doesn’t care.

It seems like spending a bit of money on making your players’ families happy seems like a no brainer. It is good for morale and knowing the team will treat your family well is attractive to free agents.

I guess it's just me and it's easy to spend other people's money but if I owned a team I would be embarrassed to get anything other than A's or a maybe a B

It's really interesting to see what actual players think about various elements of their team, from food to locker room to head coach and ownership. I have to admit to being shocked that McCarthy earned an "A" and JJ a "B".

At least we are better than everyone else in the NFC East in something.

This team played for the big blue M&M. Remember if it was not for a dump player on special teams, the Jonesboys may have made the playoffs.

Apparently we need to get the training room up to snuff

Dolphins….elite

I forget the player, but there was a quote that came out right after the regular season this year that basically said just that. Apparently the Cowboys hire less support staff than most other teams around the league.

Funny thing is many teams use internships for people in PT programs and it’s realky cheap. Your head trainer might cost some but his staff can’t be that expensive. Cut Rowdy and add more staff lol

The players obviously were team Big Mike.

Actually surprised that Jerry Jones didn't receive a higher grade. Jerry the owner is and has been HOF worthy. The only knocks on Jerry the owner are the facts that he won't fire his GM and replace his EVP.

Jerry the GM would likely receive a "D" or "F" in this poll. The way he handled the 2024 offseason deserves an "F" grade.

Jerry the owner meddled in the business of coaches trying to hold players accountable. They would circumvent the coach and complain to Jerry directly leading to culture and accountability issues

Add that to the knocks on Jerry the owner.

Unless Eagles and Commanders players are playing their ***** off so they can get signed by another team.
