CFLPA Publishes First-Ever Team Report Cards Highlighting Player Experiences

The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks earned top marks, while the Edmonton Elks received the lowest grades in the league-wide survey.

The CFL Players' Association (CFLPA) released its inaugural team report cards based on survey responses from 495 players across eight categories, including football operations, management, training staff, and team travel.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Redblacks led the rankings with two 'A' grades each, while the Edmonton Elks received the only two 'F' grades for nutrition and training camp.
The initiative aims to improve workplace conditions and elevate standards across the league, inspired by a similar effort by the NFL Players’ Association in 2023.
Common concerns included poor travel accommodations, inadequate nutrition, and insufficient medical support, with players calling for better resources and treatment.
The Edmonton Elks are undergoing organizational changes under new ownership, with promises of improvement for the 2025 season.
