The NFL players union surveys its members annually to issue report cards for the Arizona Cardinals and other teams.
Publication of grades was recently blocked by an arbitrator, but now they’ve been released by ESPN.
Players gave Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill a failing grade, which is a drop from the D- he received a year ago.
Still, the franchise climbed one space in overall rankings, and now stands at 31 out of 32 teams.
The Cardinals also improved in several other categories, many of which will be addressed by a new north Phoenix headquarters and training facility scheduled to open in 2028.
And the Cardinals scored mostly above average in new categories for position coaches, coordinators, general manager and home field condition.
