apparently the Eagles, who were 14th IIRC, don't fly players 1st class, don't have team-provided babysitting on site (they have a room, but players have to supply their own babysitters), and don't give players' families rooms on road trips, but do for coaches.

The first one, I understand because when you have players the size of Jordan Mailata, going coach has to be uncomfortable, but these guys get paid well and can supply their own babysitters and pay for a GD hotel room for their wives/gfs/mothers.
