Cleveland Browns have some worries going around about how things are being run and it comes straight from the players.

In a recent survey done by the NFLPA, the Browns ranked 23 out of 32 teams in terms of their report card. Treatment of families, locker room, weight room, and team travel were all negative impacts on the report card.

Cleveland was 30th in the league in terms of how happy players were with the weight room and was graded a D- for how players' families were treated.

The Browns are one of 12 teams who do not have a family room at the stadium. Another issue was the postgame family meet-up spot, which is a tent in a parking lot. Cleveland weather can make things unbearable at that tent at times. Early in the season, the Browns were not allowing had been carted off the field with a significant injury to contact their wives or loved ones from the locker room to let them know how they were doing.

Since COVID-19 came about, the weight room for the Browns has been spread out over 15-20 yards on the indoor field. Players feel like they need more room and the quality was ranked 30th in the league. The locker room issue is much of the same and the players feel it is too small.

Fixing things that relate to players is beneficial for the Browns when it comes to keeping players around and welcoming in new players. The Haslams have been big spenders since owning the Browns, expect to see some of these issues solved.
