NFL filed a grievance against the NFLPA to stop players’ team report cards

[ASFN Admin]

The NFLPA released its 2025 report cards for all 32 NFL teams, and Baltimore landed at No. 13 on the list. The Ravens finished in the middle of the pack, with the post-game and overall treatment of families being the only potential concern. According to the report card, the Under Armour Performance Center provides an excellent workplace environment for its players.

Players appreciate the strong leadership from the owner, general manager, and head coach.

Some improvements that players recommend include more extensive, more functional lockers, upgraded hot and cold tubs, and better communication with their families throughout the season.

According to ESPN, the league has filed a grievance against the NFL Players Association, requesting that the union cease its annual team report cards. The grievance alleges that the exercise violates the Collective Bargaining Agreement by airing public criticism of teams, as stated in documents obtained by ESPN.

The league claims the report cards, which poll players on various aspects of working conditions, violate a CBA clause that says NFL owners and the union must "use reasonable efforts to curtail public comments by club personnel or players which express criticism of any club, its coach, or its operation and policy," according to an August letter from the league's management council to NFLPA general counsel Tom DePaso, obtained by ESPN.

The Miami Dolphins, meanwhile, finished with the highest overall mark in the league, followed by the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Conversely, the Arizona Cardinals were the lowest-graded team, behind the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers made the most significant jump, climbing from 30th to fifth overall in their first year under coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz, who previously served as the Ravens' director of player personnel.
