NFLPA Grades Working Conditions For Every Team
Posted on 3/1/23 at 3:28 pm

One of our core jobs as a union is to improve the overall working conditions for our players, which includes the daily experience of players at the team facilities away from the lights and cameras.
1,300 of our players provided information to share with one another about their current club, to not only help them make important career decisions, but also help raise standards across the league.
Our goals were to highlight positive clubs, identify areas that could use improvement, and highlight best practices and standards. To learn more about the background of this initiative, read a note from President JC Tretter here.

Dallas pays up for all of these perks for players but doesn't ever try to use them to sign big free agents 
You could argue maybe the players they develop and want to re-sign might stay in part because of them though, and thats really how this team operates. They put everything on their draft eval.

Apparently the Cowboys are the best at everything except winning in the playoffs

Falcons got one of the newer stadiums and not on any of the best

Saints were pretty highly rated in every category but that one.

NFLPA put a lot in all caps and in red on that webpage.
quote:
DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES HAS DISCUSSED WAYS TO IMPROVE THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO FREE AGENTS MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR PROSPECTIVE CLUBS AND DECIDED TO PURSUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF “CLUB REPORT CARDS” THAT, WHILE NOT A SCIENTIFIC SURVEY, WOULD REPORT THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE OPINIONS OF NFL PLAYERS ABOUT THEIR RESPECTIVE CLUBS.
IN CONNECTION WITH THAT GOAL, QUESTIONS WERE SENT TO EVERY PLAYER ON THE 2022 TEAM ROSTERS ASKING THEM THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT THEIR CLUB’S FACILITIES, CERTAIN CLUB PERSONNEL/COACHES, AND OTHER WORK-RELATED CATEGORIES, SUCH AS CLUB’S TREATMENT OF FAMILIES AND TEAM TRAVEL (PLAYERS WERE NOT ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY CLUB OTHER THAN THEIR 2022 EMPLOYER). AS A RESULT OF THE CONFIDENTIAL QUESTIONNAIRE, 1,300 PLAYERS RESPONDED. THERE THEN WAS A QUALITATIVE FOLLOW UP BY THE UNION, WHICH RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING “REPORT CARD.”
THE QUESTIONS CALLED FOR BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANSWERS; FOR EXAMPLE: “GRADE YOUR WEIGHT ROOM WITH 1 REFLECTING BEST RATING, 5 REFLECTING LOWEST RATING” AND “WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT ROOM?” THE NUMERICAL RATINGS FOR EACH SUB-CATEGORY OF QUESTIONS WERE TALLIED AND AVERAGED. THE QUESTIONNAIRE ALSO SOUGHT TO ELICIT THE OPINION OF PLAYERS ON SOME ISSUES THAT HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR NFL PLAYERS. THESE QUALITATIVE RESPONSES, WHICH ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECTIVE, WERE REVIEWED AND EVALUATED BY THE UNION AND THEN FACTORED INTO PROVIDING AN OVERALL RATING THAT WAS INTENDED TO REFLECT PLAYER OPINIONS.
BASED UPON ALL OF THIS INFORMATION, THE RANKINGS FROM CLUB TO CLUB WERE DETERMINED BY COMPARING HOW EACH CLUB GRADED IN EACH CATEGORY.
FINALLY, THE CLUB REPORT CARD INCLUDES AN OVERVIEW, WHICH IS A SUMMARY OF THE PLAYERS’ RESPONSES AND OPINIONS ABOUT THE CLUB WORKPLACE AND SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HOW PLAYERS PERCEIVED CLUBS’ COMMITMENT TO WORKPLACE ISSUES.

Dolphins among the best in almost every category. But I was told they were heartless and their coaches and medical staff were trying to murder Tua.

Though I think this is a great thing in general I have a feeling the way it’s done with Jerry is part of the culture that causes players to quickly understand that if they don’t like something from the coach they can work Jerry. He tries to friends with many of the players (including their families) and allows for a direct line communication with him bypassing the coach.
Even assistant coaches know this. Daddy Kiffin got the DC job awhile back by meeting with Jerry and telling him all his personal decisions were good, but it was the coaching and scheme not fitting his personal decisions.

I’d argue they don’t but it would be kind of pointless if they do because these guys are signing for the most money and/or opportunity, not who has the nicest lunch room

Arizona's report card is wild. The worst weight room in the league with an F- but the strength staff gets an A?. I would think at the NFL level, the strength coach is in charge of setting up the weight room. Did they just not get him what he needs and he is making do with a Nautilus and a few dumbbells?
Posted on 3/2/23 at 5:37 am to Basura Blanco
The coaching score relates to the actual coaching/program and the weight room is about the actual facilities they work out in
Doesn’t mean they don’t have dumbbells, just means they’ve probably got a super out dated weight room, or atleast relative to the rest of the league.
ETA report came out today that they are the only team who charges for eating at the facility

Do you have any examples?
Dallas is mentioned with big free agents a lot because their agents use the Cowboys in negotiations. They really don't believe in paying big money to outside free agents at all, and I'll trust guys like Bryan Broaddus who agrees with me and has actual connections within the team over some internet tard

This certainly seems to be the case. Who was the last big free agent the Cowboys have signed? Cooper?
Posted on 3/2/23 at 9:11 am to grizzlylongcut
They traded for Cooper and signed him. Oh and they signed TY Hilton in the middle of the year

Pretty solid for the Bills. Thank God “Are you cold as balls” or “how’s the culture” werent a category
