Jets make huge major leaps in 2026 NFLPA team report cards

The Jets would be happy to show off this report card. 

The 2026 NFL Players Association team report cards showed significant improvement for the Jets across the board, according to results that were obtained by ESPN.

The Giants saw several changes in their grades, including improvements in “Treatment of Families,” “Food/Dining Area,” “Training Staff” and “Team Ownership,” to name a few.

Woody Johnson and Jets ownership saw a significant increase, going from an F to a B, and the franchise saw a jump in head coach from B to an A after Aaron Glenn replaced Robert Saleh. “Locker Room” received an A- grade after being a D+ in 2025. 

Both the Jets and Giants earned an F- grade for “Home Game Field.” The teams share MetLife Stadium. 

The report cards were based on survey responses from 1,759 players across the NFL, all of whom were on a team roster during the 2025 season. The results were collected from Nov. 2-Dec. 11. 

The NFLPA did not make this year’s report cards public after the NFL filed a grievance against the union over them, claiming that they violated the collective bargaining agreement. 

An arbitrator landed on the side of the owners last month and stated that the report cards went against the CBA by “disparaging NFL clubs and individuals.”

A memo sent out by the league Thursday, and obtained by multiple outlets, advised teams to “refrain from commenting or engaging publicly on the alleged survey and Report Card results,” while describing the report cards as an “agenda-driven exercise.” 

“We continue to recommend that Clubs prioritize feedback and information provided directly by their own players rather than relying on the NFLPA’s agenda-driven exercise,” the memo states. “We further recommend that Clubs refrain from commenting or engaging publicly on the alleged survey and Report Card results. Doing so only provides credibility to the union’s media campaign.”
