The Buccaneers’ 2026 NFLPA Report Card paints a concerning picture for the franchise. According to ESPN’s analysis of the NFL Players Association’s annual report, the Buccaneers fall to 29th place overall and register declines in nine of the eleven areas evaluated compared to the previous year.
The survey, based on 1,759 responses from players who were on a roster in 2025, was conducted between November 2 and December 11. The ratings range from A+ to F-, and measure everything from ownership to the treatment of families.
Buccaneers’ Grades
These were the ratings given to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2026 report:
- Treatment of Families: D
- Home Game Field: F-
- Food/Dining Area: D+
- Nutritionist/Dietitian: B-
- Locker Room: D-
- Training Room: C
- Training Staff: C+
- Weight Room: A-
- Strength Coaches: A
- Position Coaches: B
- Offensive Coordinator: B
- Defensive Coordinator: A-
- Special Teams Coordinator: C+
- Team Travel: F
- Head Coach: B
- General Manager: A-
- Team Ownership: D
- Overall Rank: 29
The contrast is evident. While the strength and conditioning area maintains high standards—A for strength coaches and A- for the weight room—the infrastructure and logistics receive very low ratings.
Decline In Key Areas
The NFLPA Report Card Buccaneers 2026 reflects a general decline compared to the previous year. These are the most relevant changes:
- Treatment of families: from C- to D
- Food/Dining Area: C- to D+
- Nutrition/Dietician: from B+ to B-
- Locker Room: C to D-
- Training Room: from C+ to C
- Training Staff: from B to C+

In contrast, only two sections improved or remained strong:
- Strength Coaches: remains in A
- Weight Room: rises from B to A-
The most striking decline appears in the team’s travel section, which drops from C- to F. Also significant are the F- rating on the home pitch and the D- rating in the dressing room.
A Clear Division
The report reveals a clear division. The technical structure receives positive ratings: A- for the defensive coordinator, B for the offensive coordinator, and A- for the general manager. However, aspects related to the players’ daily experience, facilities, and organizational management receive the lowest marks.
The final result places Tampa Bay in 29th place out of 32 franchises, a position that forces internal reflection if the goal is to compete at the highest level not only on the field, but also in the perception of the professional environment.
The NFLPA Report Card for the 2026 Buccaneers does not automatically imply sporting consequences, but it does mark a trend that the organization will have to analyze carefully if it wants to reverse the perception of its own players.
