The @NFLPA just released their player team report cards for 2024 and the results are ... suboptimal for the Chiefs.
Head coach Andy Reid gets A+ but Chiefs rank dead last in training staff and ownership. Ownership gets an F- from the players. pic.twitter.com/2XyHkQfFru
I would guess the NFL has standards for training facilities locker rooms practice facilities treatment travel training table accommodations etc. I would guess teams must meet those expectations. If you want extras nothing says you can't start a GoFundMe! [Reply]

The NFL was better when the players suffered more.
I agree. Players are getting paid so much money they don't care about improving their craft and getting better at their job, it's happening in all the major sports. [Reply]
F-:seems nuts. To get that on ownership players must have talked about it and felt very strong, because even if just a few gave it a C the average couldn't stay that low. Rarely see that on any survey because some people are positive enough to never rate that low [Reply]

Good point, looks like the Chiefs are only about 8 percent below the average, and that can be a function of contract structure and where players are in the cycle. [Reply]

How big of a chode do you have to be to get an F- from the players? It has to be more than just not making a new locker room. [Reply]

The chiefs have won 3 Superbowls in 5 years. Somehow I don't think your post applies to them.
Maybe reward them a little bit. This is essentially the workplace pizza party meme except they just replaced stools with chairs. [Reply]
That’s not true. Plus culture and amenities are VASTLY different concepts. If the money is even then it comes down to personal preference between: recent success, coaching staff, city, friends on the team. At no point does the quality of the locker room decide where a FA goes. https://t.co/fOQB854SoO

The rookies do.
More and more players checking out once they get that fat payday. [Reply]

Unless I was an elite NFL player, I'm not going to lie I would do that too. If I was a Mahomes or Kelce it would be a different story, you would have something to strive to. But if you are Ben fucking Nieman...what is the point? Your only goal is to stay in the league as long as possible if you are him. [Reply]
