STM Take
Five career tier 8 STTM finishes across nine NFL seasons makes Feeney one of the most durable late-round IOL journeymen of his era, even though the structural ceiling never climbed above the tier 8 floor. The Indiana technical foundation plus the positional flexibility (guard and center) give him basic veteran-depth value. The 2026 question is whether Feeney holds a starter role at age 30 or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
Feeney came out of Indiana as the Los Angeles Chargers' 3rd-round pick (71st overall) in 2017 and has bounced through the Chargers, Jets, Vikings, Bears, and now Buccaneers across nine NFL seasons. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#57) rookie, tier 8 (#118) in 2018, tier 8 (#113) in 2019, tier 8 (#102) in 2020, and tier 8 (#76) in 2025 with Tampa Bay, five career tier 8 finishes across nine years.
Strengths
- Nine years of NFL survival across five teams gives him the rare journeyman veteran-depth résumé at the position.
- Positional flexibility at guard and center plus the multi-system experience gives him real veteran market value as plug-in depth.
Concerns
- Five career tier 8 STTM finishes across nine NFL seasons confirms the structural ceiling has never climbed above the late-round-pick baseline.
- Age 30 plus nine years of interior-line wear puts the late-career structural decline question on every 2026 projection.
What to watch: Whether Feeney holds 8 or more starts in 2026 or whether the role compresses back to swing depth.
