NFLPA 2026 Report Cards Leak Despite NFL Ban

The NFL's attempt to keep the NFLPA's 2026 report cards confidential failed when ESPN released the full letter grades for all 32 teams.

ESPN.com’s Kalyn Kahler posted the full 2026 NFLPA report cards, revealing letter grades for every team after the NFL’s grievance prevented public release. An arbitrator barred the union from publishing the cards but allowed them to be shared with players, insisting the results remain confidential.

The cards, based on 1,759 player responses collected from Nov. 2 to Dec. 11, cover 18 categories including family treatment, field, nutrition, coaching staff, and ownership. New 2026 categories added home game field, position coaches, the three coordinators, and general manager.
