The New York Jets have been graded the worst team in the NFL for ownership in this year’s NFL Players Association workplace survey, with players describing a “culture of fear” under owner Woody Johnson.
New owner Josh Harris vowed to change the team’s reputation after last year’s NFLPA report graded the Commanders as the league’s worst workplace.
At the bottom of the rankings, the Arizona Cardinals were rated as the worst team for workplace conditions, followed by the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Jets, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Jets slumped to a 5-12 record in the 2024 season, fired their head coach, were dogged by reports that Johnson’s teenage son Brick had a say in team decisions and missed the playoffs for a 14th successive season.
While the league saw overall improvements in working conditions – including the resolution of past issues like dirty shower water, rats, and unstable weight room floors – the Falcons reported a ventilation issue in their locker room that caused “major complaints” about odor.
