Buccaneers Re-Sign OL Dan Feeney

Feeney joined the Bucs shortly after the start of the 2025 regular season. The loss of Cody Mauch required a veteran addition, and he became a regular presence up front. Feeney logged 10 starts in his 12 appearances for Tampa Bay. He worked exclusively at right guard during that period.

The 31-year-old has also seen plenty of time at left guard during his career. Feeney has operated as a center as well during certain stops, but with Graham Barton in place for Tampa Bay that should not be expected for 2026. Instead, Feeney will aim to provide guard depth for the Buccaneers as the team hopes for a return to full health on Mauch’s part.

During his stretches as a first-team presence, Feeney has not drawn strong PFF reviews. That remained the case in 2025 when he stepped in for Mauch. The Bucs will no doubt prefer this to be a veteran depth move rather than one setting up another lengthy run in the starting lineup.

The former third-rounder signed for $1.26MM when joining Tampa Bay last year. Another one-year deal worth a similar amount will likely be in store for 2026. The Buccaneers entered Monday with over $40MM in cap space, so this re-signing will not drastically impact the team’s other plans for the remainder of free agency.
