Score a victory for the Jets and Woody Johnson.
Because of alleged suspect information-gathering and grading methodologies, Johnson led the charge by NFL owners to debunk the Players Association’s 11-category “Team Report Cards” that were publicized the last three offseasons.
An independent arbitrator agreed in ruling that the Report Cards violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement and also issuing an order preventing the disclosure of any future Report Cards, according to a memo sent Friday by the league to all 32 teams.last season and the Jets ranked No. 29 out of 32 across the board, though that assessment can be framed differently after the NFLPA’s counsel admitted, per the memo, during the grievance proceedings that the union:• had its staffers write the summaries and that “players had no role in drafting the commentary included in the Report Cards.” For example, the Jets’ 2025 report card read that “rather than addressing concerns, players believed that management responded to feedback by making conditions worse.” • “selected which anonymous individual player quotations to include to support its chosen narrative.” • “determined the weight of each topic and the resulting impact on the alphabetical grades it assigned.”The obstacles Team USA ice dancers face as they consider drastic action after Olympics judging scandalFrench judge's scores that cost American pair gold medal ignites 2026 Olympics ice dancing scandal “In essence, the record established that the Report Cards were designed by the union to advance its interests under the guise of a scientific exercise,” the memo read. “These facts highlight the numerous and significant limitations in the methodology and accuracy of the Team Report Card results.” The NFLPA said that roughly 77 percent of its membership took part in the survey from Aug. 26, 2024 through Nov. 20, 2024.“How they collected the information, who they collected it from – it’s supposed to be a process where we have representatives and they have representatives so we know it’s an honest survey,” Johnson said. “And that was violated, in my opinion. “There are a lot of owners that looked at this survey and said this is not fair, not balanced, it’s not every player, it’s not even representative of the players.”One survey component that will remain, however, is the players’ opinions regarding the adequacy of medical care provided, per the memo. The NFL’s Management Council and the NFLPA will continue to design and conduct such a survey in the future. The NFL also encouraged teams to solicit feedback directly from players to assess areas where owners can invest in facilities, staffs and services to provide an improved experience.“We are pleased with the decision from the arbitrator, upholding the parties’ collective bargaining agreement and prohibiting the NFLPA from disparaging our clubs and individuals through ‘report cards’ allegedly based on data and methodologies that it has steadfastly refused to disclose,” an NFL spokesperson said. “We remain committed to working in partnership with the NFLPA and an independent survey company to develop and administer a scientifically valid survey to solicit accurate and reliable player feedback as the parties agreed in the CBA.”
