Eagles NFLPA Report Card: An F in Travel and 50 College Teams With Better Facilities

The 2026 NFLPA Report Cards leaked this week and the Eagles' grades tell a story of a franchise that excels at coaching but lags badly in infrastructure. An F in team travel. A D in locker room facilities. A B-minus in the training room. These aren't grades befitting a Super Bowl champion.

The Good: Coaching Staff Dominates

Nick Sirianni earned an A from the players, reinforcing what insiders have said for years — players genuinely like playing for him. Whatever the fans think of his game management, the locker room respects the man. Vic Fangio pulled an A-plus from the defensive side, which surprises nobody who watched that unit perform last season. The strength coach earned an A-minus, position coaches an A-minus.

The one outlier? Former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo came in at C-plus — a grade that likely reflects results more than relationship. The offense was bad, and even in an anonymous survey, players weren't going to pretend otherwise.

The Bad: Facilities Are Embarrassing

The D in locker room isn't about culture or chemistry — it's about square footage. The Eagles operate out of the smallest locker room in the NFL, inside a practice facility that was state-of-the-art when it opened 25 years ago. That was a different era. An estimated 50-plus college programs now have better facilities than a franchise valued at billions.

Houston just announced the Toro District. Miami was ranked number one with its brand-new complex. Minnesota sits at number two. The Eagles? They're competing with mid-tier college programs for facility rankings.

The Ugly: First-Class Seating Goes to Coaches

The F in team travel comes down to one specific issue: the Eagles give first-class seating to coaches, not players. This has been a sore spot for two consecutive years — they got an F last year too. It's the kind of problem that feels easily fixable, and yet here we are.

The good news: expansion plans tied to the Rothman rebrand should increase the locker room footprint. The bad news: a true facility overhaul likely requires city cooperation on the adjacent naval parking lot, and that's been stuck in political limbo.
