Will NFLPA survey results impact Patriots in free agency?

The New England Patriots need to make some upgrades this offseason, and not just to their on-field product.

On Wednesday, the NFL Players Association released its "NFL Player Team Report Cards" for all 32 clubs. Players assessed their own teams in eight off-field categories: treatment of families, nutrition, weight room, strength staff, training room, training staff and travel.

The Patriots ranked 24th and received a C-minus or worse in four of the eight categories. Their weight room (D) and team travel (D+) received the lowest grades.

The results of the survey come at a less-than-ideal time for New England as free agency is set to begin on March 15.
