Dan Feeney

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Dan Feeney's one-year, $1.5M deal with Tampa Bay represents a fair gamble on a guard with limited track record, earning a C- CVI that reflects both the modest financial commitment and uncertain production ceiling. The Buccaneers are essentially paying replacement-level money for an unproven interior lineman, which makes sense given Feeney's spotty NFL resume and lack of consistent starting experience. At 30 years old, this isn't a developmental play but rather a low-risk depth signing where Tampa Bay can evaluate whether Feeney has anything left to offer without significant financial exposure. The contract structure favors the team heavily, with only $1M guaranteed in a market where proven guards command $8-12M annually, giving the Bucs an easy out if Feeney doesn't perform. This feels like a classic "camp body" signing that could turn into decent value if Feeney somehow establishes himself as a reliable backup, but the grade reflects the reality that Tampa Bay is more likely getting a roster filler than a meaningful contributor to their offensive line depth chart.

Performance Analysis

Dan Feeney earns an F for the Buccaneers at guard, a veteran interior lineman whose play has declined to well below starter-level expectations. Feeney has been beaten consistently in pass protection and has not provided the physicality needed to sustain blocks in the run game. Tampa Bay's offensive line has had its issues, and Feeney has contributed to those problems. His technique has eroded, and he is no longer capable of handling one-on-one matchups against NFL-caliber defensive linemen. The Buccaneers need to find better options on the interior.

Fan Sentiment

A low-risk, depth-focused re-signing that keeps offensive line continuity intact for Tampa Bay. Five headlines confirm this as a quiet but noteworthy roster move in the media cycle. Feeney's familiarity with Tampa's blocking schemes is the strongest case for bringing him back. Fans see this as a sensible, unremarkable move to shore up interior line depth. Feeney projects as a dependable backup and spot starter if injuries strike the Buccaneers' offensive line.
