No surprise at the bottom 4, being Jets, Panthers, Cardinals and now Patriots. Kraft has let the team slide since Brady left.

Most issues for the players regarding owners are either commitment to win or paying the money to upgrade the areas of their team on that report, like facilities, staff, and how their families are treated.

The teams that got under a B are Pitt, TB, KC, Cincy, LAR, SEA, Cle, NYG.

I think those clubs in the bottom 5-12 each has a couple of other issues that drop their owner's grades. KC, needs to upgrade their facilities and stuff. SEA has good facilities, so something else with them. Cincy, have always been cheap.

Any list that puts Bengals ownership above Chiefs ownership isn't worth the toilet paper I just used to clean my ass.

As expected. Ross is a dumbass when it comes to personnel decisions but there is zero doubt how much he cares and wants to win. A lot of the investment that's gone into the organization is to build a place where players won't shut up about how great it is on top of playing in a super desirable city.

Can't say he hasn't achieved that...would be nice if it you know, actually translated to something other than 8-10 win seasons, but still better off compared to some orgs like Arizona lmao.

SEA has good facilities, so something else with them.

My understanding is that Jody Allen is sort of a custodial "owner" until a permanent one is chosen, so the Hawks have a pretty strange situation there. I don't know how well she even knows football TBH.
Player dissatisfaction likely comes from that.

Sounds like he should hire the best POFO he can get and stay out of the way.

I figured since she let Pete go and hired MacDonald she was going to now be in it for the long haul. Come May she is able to sell the team without any of the proceeds going to the city. If she was planning on selling the team soon it kind of made more sense to keep Pete for his final season and allow a new owner to make that hire.
But, I guess the question is how much money does she have at her disposal to use on the team moving forward?
