2026 NFLPA report cards

[daves]

As expected, despite the ruling that the NFLPA could not "publish" the report cards, they were immediately "leaked" to the press.

Here are the Cardinals' grades, from The Athletic today:

Treatment of families: D+ (D+)
Home field: B (N/A)
Travel: C+ (B)
Food/dining: C- (D-)
Nutritionist/dietician: B (B)
Locker room: F- (F-)
Training room: D+ (D-)
Training staff: B- (C)
Weight room: D+ (F)
Strength coaches: B- (C+)
Position coaches: B+ (N/A)
Offensive coordinator: B- (N/A)
Defensive coordinator: C+ (N/A)
Special teams coordinator: B (N/A)
Head coach: B+ (A)
General manager: B (N/A)
Ownership: F (D-)

Edited to add last year's grades in parens. Differences are marginal, except for a upgrades from D- to C- in Food/dining and from F to D+ in Weight room; slight upgrades from D- to D+ in Training room, from C to B- in Training staff, and from C+ to B- in Strength coaches; and downgrades from A to B+ in Head coach and from D- to F in Ownership. There are also new grades, in the C+ to B range for Home field, Position Coaches, Coordinators, and GM.

Overall rankings weren't provided for 2026, but the Cardinals must still be close to the bottom.

A new training facility in 2028 will surely help a few of the worst grades, but there's no excuse for several of the others... and no escaping the F-rated owner.
