The NFLPA will no longer be doing team report card rankings after the NFL prevailed in its grievance filed against the NFL Players Association, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Sources: The NFL informed all 32 teams today in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance vs. the NFLPA and its “team report cards.” An arbitrator determined that the NFLPA’s conduct violated the CBA and ordered it to stop making public any future report cards. pic.twitter.com/mss5WUQjhF

The NFL filed the grievance against the NFLPA in August. The league’s grievance stemed from CBA Article 51, Section 6, that requires the NFLPA and league management council to “use reasonable efforts to curtail public comments by Club personnel or players which express criticism of any club…”
The league also alleges the report card surveys interfere with the union upholding Article 39, Section 5, which mandates the league and union jointly conduct an anonymous survey at least once every three years regarding players’ opinions on medical care and staff. The CBA also mandates the parties “commission independent analyses of the results of such surveys.”
