STM Take
Two straight tier 6 finishes (#42, #43) in Tampa Bay to tier 8 (#75) in his first Jacksonville season is a 32-spot regression that flags the change of scenery as the issue. The Notre Dame technical foundation plus four years of NFL starter reps give him basic veteran value. The 2026 question is whether Hainsey returns to tier 6 with continued Jacksonville offensive line stability or whether the tier 8 finish becomes the new baseline.
Hainsey came out of Notre Dame as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 3rd-round pick (95th overall) in 2021 and started two seasons in Tampa Bay at center after Ryan Jensen's career-ending injury. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025 free agency. His STTM career runs tier 6 (#42) in 2022, tier 6 (#43) in 2023, and tier 8 (#75) in 2025 with Jacksonville.
Strengths
- Two straight tier 6 finishes (#42, #43) in Tampa Bay confirms a structural mid-tier center ceiling exists.
- Notre Dame technical foundation plus four years of NFL starter reps gives him basic veteran market value.
Concerns
- 32-spot regression from tier 6 (#43) in Tampa Bay to tier 8 (#75) in Jacksonville confirms the ceiling is team-fit dependent.
- Jacksonville's broader offensive line transition (multi-year rebuild) compresses the structural environment around Hainsey.
What to watch: Whether Hainsey returns to tier 6 or better in 2026 with continued Jacksonville offensive line stability, or whether the rank stays at tier 8.
