Overview

  • The grievance argues the public grades violate a CBA clause requiring both sides to curtail comments that criticize clubs, coaches or operations.
  • The league also says the union’s reports undercut a confidential, jointly administered triennial survey and has asked that the NFLPA suspend its report-card project.
  • The NFLPA notified players last week that surveying for the 2025 report cards is moving forward and pledged to fight the complaint.
  • Sources told ESPN the NFL is seeking an arbitration hearing in December with a hoped-for ruling by February 2026.
  • The union cites 1,695 player responses in 2025 and says the reports spurred improvements, while some owners including the Jets’ Woody Johnson criticize the methodology and public release.
