For a second consecutive year, the Miami Dolphins are the top-ranked team in the NFL Players Association report card.
The third annual iteration of the NFLPA report card was released Wednesday morning at the NFL Scouting Combine, which was compiled during the 2024 NFL season and had responses from 1,695 players across all 32 teams.
And also for a second straight year, the Minnesota Vikings came in second place behind the Dolphins. The Falcons, Raiders and Chargers rounded out the top five.
JC Tretter, the NFLPA's chief strategy officer, noted Wednesday morning that the gap between fifth and eighth was "close." The Texans, Packers and 49ers were sixth through eighth, in order.
The survey takes into account 11 different categories within teams: treatment of families, food/cafeteria, nutritionist/dietician, locker room, training room, training staff, weight room, strength coaches, team travel, head coach and owner.
The survey also showed the bottom-ranked teams in the NFL. The Steelers ranked 28th, followed by the Jets, Browns and Patriots. The Arizona Cardinals finished in last place after being ranked 27th last year.
Stephen Ross (Dolphins) and Zygi Wilf (Vikings) ranked at the top of ownership in the league. The union broke down the ownership survey into three subcategories: willingness to invest in facilities, contributions to a positive team culture and commitment to building a competitive team.
When it came to willingness to invest in team facilities, the owners who ranked 28th to 32nd were Robert Kraft (Patriots), David Tepper (Panthers), Art Rooney II (Steelers), Michael Bidwill (Cardinals) and Woody Johnson (Jets).

Looks like Tepper's gonna try again for a new HQ and practice facility after the first attempt failed due to funding friction with the outlying city it was in and the giant half-finished building was demolished.

I’d trade being ranked first in this thing for finally winning a playoff game since the fricking year 2000.

Of course the Dolphins finish first in this.
Remind me again what Leo Durocher said?

11 teams did not offer daycare for players' families on game day
The horror!

You say that, but that means 21 teams do so it’s far more common than not.
If you and a buddy worked in the same industry and his company provided something yours did not, you’d take notice of it.

LMAO!
"Industry?" Are you freaking serious?
The MINIMUM salary for a NFL player is just under 800k.I think you can afford your own damn "day care" for 17 days a year.

That’s got to be hundreds and hundreds of kids. That they know of.

Not really sure what you’re going for there.

And this isn’t really relevant to my point.
11 teams do not provide something that 21 other teams provide. Meaning it’s common practice in the NFL for teams to provide childcare during games. And “provided” does not explicitly mean “free.”

Shocking...

Yes they can afford day care that’s not the issue. The teams provide day care at the stadium on game days so the whole family can attend the game.

Wasn’t it Antonio brown who said you go to Miami if you want to play at a country club?

Also, games are Sunday when day care is typically closed.
There's also the security issue. Players have to worry about their families and homes being targeted on gameday. Less chance of it happening at the stadium.

God Almighty.
Yeah.I think they can afford to hire either a off duty LEO or a security firm.
Stop acting like these guys are 9 to 5 Joe Schmo's who struggle with daycare/ work balance.
