NFL free agency will begin on March 15 and therefore the NFL Players Union (NFLPAfor its acronym in English) has created a guide for non-contract athletes to seek the best possible conditions.
JC Tretter, president of the NFLPA and former NFL player, shaped the The Guide after asking 1,300 of the 2,200 players in the leagueconfidentially, about the working conditions of each team. After the evaluation, the Washington Commanders, Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers were the worst evaluated teams.
The items evaluated were I treat the family of the players, the services of feeding, gymstrength trainers, facilities of training, the personal of training, the dressing rooms and the trips of the team.
The washington franchise ranked last in treatment of family, training facilities, locker rooms and travel. However, they ranked first in the matter of strength coaches. Also, players are wary of owner Dan Snyder.
Cardinals players showed their annoyance with the owners because they consider that they are not willing to invest to improve the facilities.
The nonconformity of the Chargers players occurs because they don’t have the proper training facilities and the franchise plan is to have them ready by 2024. In addition, the food service is not the best and the dressing rooms can improve.

The best franchises
On the other side of the spectrum are the Minnesota VikingsMiami Dolphins and las vegas Raiders.
Those from the NFC North stood out because the players consider that the owner ZyGi Wilf is willing to spend so they have the best facilities available. In addition, they offer childcare for those who have children and players receive three meals a day.
The only complaint Dolphins players have about the organization is that the number of passes to restricted areas for family members after matches are limited.
The Raiders might be higher because they tied for 22nd on the practice squad, but it’s a good grade because the NFLPA rated him B+. One of the annoyances of the players is that Las Vegas franchise offers childcare, but not in stadium.
