\u2022 had its staffers write the summaries and that \u201cplayers had no role in drafting the commentary included in the Report Cards.\u201d For example, the Jets\u2019 2025 report card read that \u201crather than addressing concerns, players believed that management responded to (2024) feedback by making conditions worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cselected which anonymous individual player quotations to include (or exclude entirely) to support its chosen narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cdetermined the weight of each topic and the resulting impact on the alphabetical grades it assigned.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased with the decision from the arbitrator, upholding the parties\u2019 collective bargaining agreement and prohibiting the NFLPA from disparaging our clubs and individuals through \u2018report cards\u2019 allegedly based on data and methodologies that it has steadfastly refused to disclose,\u201d an NFL spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
The Jets\u2019 lowest grade (D+, ranking No. 26 among the teams) outside of Johnson\u2019s was for the locker room, which was entirely revamped<\/a> before last season and received high praise from players<\/a>. Johnson already had commissioned the locker-room renovation before the Report Cards were released.<\/p>\n \u201cIn essence,\u201d the memo read, \u201cthe record established that the Report Cards were designed by the union to advance its interests under the guise of a scientific exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n The NFLPA said that roughly 77 percent of its membership took part in the survey from Aug. 26, 2024, through Nov. 20, 2024.<\/p>\n Johnson called the results \u201ctotally bogus\u201d last March. How so?<\/p>\n \u201cHow they collected the information, who they collected it from \u2014 it\u2019s supposed to be a process where we have representatives and they have representatives so we know it\u2019s an honest survey,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAnd that was violated, in my opinion.<\/p>\n \u201cThere a lot of owners that looked at this survey and said this is not fair, not balanced, it\u2019s not every player, it\u2019s not even representative of the players.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The arbitrator agreed.<\/p>\n One survey component that will remain, however, is the players\u2019 opinions regarding the adequacy of medical care provided, per the memo. The NFL\u2019s Management Council and the NFLPA will continue to design and conduct such a survey in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cThe program is not going away,\u201d the NFLPA said in a statement. \u201cThe ruling upholds our right to survey players and share the results with players and clubs. While we strongly disagree with the restriction on making those results public, that limitation does not stop the program or its impact.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet the insider\u2019s view on Gang Green\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up for Inside the Jets by Brian Costello, a weekly Sports+ exclusive.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tThank you\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The union claimed that the ruling determined their \u201cmethodology is sound.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cImportantly, the arbitrator rejected the NFL\u2019s characterization of the process,\u201d the statement read, \u201cfinding the Team Report Cards to be fair, balanced and increasingly positive over time.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Score a victory for the Jets and Woody Johnson.
