The grades from the NFL Players Association's 2026 report cards have been revealed . . . or were at least obtained and revealed by ESPN on Thursday. Per senior NFL writer Kalyn Kahler, the survey—which was conducted from Nov.

The NFLPA is no longer able to make their annual report cards public. However, ESPN's Kayln Kahler was able to obtain a copy of the reports following the 2025 NFL season, and the Jacksonville Jaguars were rated among the best.

Earlier this month, the NFL won a grievance that prevented the NFLPA from publishing the results of the 2026 report cards. The arbitrator did not block the NFLPA from creating the report cards or communicating the results to the players.

As expected, the NFLPA's annual grades of NFL franchises leaked to the media, with ESPN getting the full details of the reports. The NFL, through a grievance and an arbitrator's ruling, blocked the public release of the NFLPA's report cards earlier this month.

To no one’s surprise, the NFLPA report cards were leaked, despite a recent grievance by the NFL to avoid this scenario. The league tried to save some teams’ dignity, like the Arizona Cardinals, by not having these report cards published to avoid public shaming for how bad the rest of the league views them.
