One NFL team executive criticized the utility of the report cards issued by the NFL Players Association, which graded franchises on a number of criteria.
"They didn't want help, they wanted shock factor and embarrassment," the executive said to The Athletic's Kalyn Kahler. "Without knowing methodology it's hard to guess what we were graded on."
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon struck a similar tone.
"I don't do business like that," he said. "I don't know how the survey—what was asked and how it went on. When I talk to players, I sit down and we have honest conversations about everything.
