New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara took the sarcastic route in response to the NFL’s grievance win against the NFLPA and its annual team report cards. According to a tweet by insider Adam Schefter, the NFLPA is not allowed to overall grade a team publicly with these reports.
“Sources: The NFL informeed all 32 teamss today in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance vs. the NFLPA and it’s ‘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.”
After the news broke out on Friday, Alvin Kamara joked about what would happen if players started publishing their own version of report cards. He then shared two tweets that were sarcastic reviews of the Saints.

The five-time Pro Bowler also jokingly gave the team’s practice field a low grade.

Despite losing the grievance case, the NFLPA responded on social media that they will continue with these annual offseason report cards. However, these will now be shared with only players in the league.
“The Report Cards are not going away. They will be shared with all player members. Our process and methodology remains strong. The ruling found the Report Cards to be fair, balanced, and increasingly positive over time. We remain committed to making sure your experiences in the locker room are heard.”
