The Eagles are one of the gold-standard franchises in the NFL, and owner Jeffrey Lurie made the necessary improvements to his team travels, along with accommodations for family and friends at Lincoln Financial Field.
The NFLPA recently conducted a player survey for all 32 NFL teams with the goal of better learning how teams treat players and their families.
A substantial free agent tool for this year and in the future, the players’ union compiled results. It handed out report cards using parameters such as travel, home-field accommodations, treatment of families, weight room, nutrition, training room, and head coach.
Philadelphia’s overall score was raised thanks to the support staff, people who work with players, training staff, and strength coaches.
The Philadelphia Eagles finish the year ranked 4th overall in the team survey report. Survey respondents consistently grade the staff highly. The strength coaches, training staff and head coach Nick Sirianni all receive extremely high grades from the players.
The players also have a lot of faith in club owner Jeffrey Lurie’s willingness to continually upgrade the facilities. Last year, the survey highlighted that the Eagles had some of the smallest hot/cold tubs in the league and this offseason, the team upgraded their tub room, which the players appreciated.
The players mention two priority areas that they would like to see upgraded as soon as possible. First is the team’s travel setup. Players feel crammed in the back of the plane while the staff sits in first class. The second issue players mention is the need for a renovated locker room, which feels outdated.
