Report Card 2025
Arizona Cardinals
Overall Ranking
Overview
The Arizona Cardinals finish at the bottom of this year’s Report Card rankings. The top concern for many players is the need for an updated, modernized and expanded team facility. Nearly every space within the facility is described as too small, especially the team’s locker room.
Many players also highlight non-construction related improvements that would enhance their workplace conditions, such as an upgraded food program with more variety and higher quality offerings, as well as pre-game sideline passes for their families.
When asked what the team is doing best, many players praise head coach Jonathan Gannon for fostering a strong team culture.
