Source: Dolphins rank first, Steelers worst in NFLPA survey

"Players consistently describe the organization as 'the best in the NFL.' The report cards grade franchises from A+ to F- on everything from ownership to treatment of families, based on responses from 1,759 players who were on a 2025 roster at the time of the survey."

"[Steelers owner] Art Rooney ranks last in the league for willingness to invest in facilities, a trend reflected in the Steelers' poor facility ratings across the board. In a new category added this year, the Steelers had the lowest rated home field in the league by a wide margin."

"The NFLPA is not making the report cards public this year following a grievance filed by the NFL, which claimed the survey violated the collective bargaining agreement. An arbitrator agreed with the league, saying the report cards violated the CBA by disparaging NFL clubs and individuals."

The Miami Dolphins topped the NFLPA's 2026 annual report cards for the third straight year, with players describing the organization as the best in the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings placed second and the Washington Commanders third. The Pittsburgh Steelers finished last for the first time in the survey's four-year history, dropping from 28th place the previous year. The Arizona Cardinals ranked 31st after last place in 2025, while the Cleveland Browns remained at 30th. The NFLPA did not publicly release the report cards this year following an NFL grievance claiming the survey violated the collective bargaining agreement. An arbitrator sided with the league, determining the cards disparaged NFL clubs and individuals. The survey included responses from 1,759 players conducted between November and December 2025.
