The veteran offensive lineman announced on Thursday that he is hanging up his cleats (albeit with a caveat).<\/p>\n<p>Feliciano was with the Raiders from 2015-18, and his first trip to free agency saw him sign with the Bills. The former fourth-rounder operated as a full-time starter during his three Buffalo seasons, although each of the latter two saw him limited to just nine games. A single campaign with the Giants was followed by Feliciano playing for the 49ers in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The Miami product made 15 appearances and seven starts for San Francisco that season, but a knee injury suffered during training camp this past summer made he clear he would not be able to suit up at the beginning of the 2024 campaign. The rehab process did not go according to plan, and in November Feliciano was shut down for the year. While he is leaving the door open to a return late in 2025, he is now mainly turning his attention to his post-playing days as a result.<\/p>\n<p><em>After months of weighing my options, I realized I had to leave the game,\u201d <\/em> Feliciano\u2019s announcement reads in part.\u00a0<em>\u201cThe fire is still there, but I know I can\u2019t last a full season and can\u2019t bring myself to let people down\u2026 That being said, Buffalo or [San Francisco], I\u2019ll be ready for a playoff run in December if you need me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Bills\u2019 O-line has been one of the league\u2019s best over the past two yeas, and none of their starters are pending free agents. The 49ers, by contrast, could be in the market for interior additions during the offseason and underwhelming play from that unit (or injuries, of course) could leave the door open to a Feliciano signing. For now, though, it can be assumed he has played his last snap in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old has amassed 125 combined regular and postseason appearances during his career, with 70 of those being starts. Feliciano has earned nearly $24MM to date, and that figure could still increase if he winds up signing with the Bills or 49ers late next season. Failing that, however, he will close the book on his NFL tenure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jon Feliciano announced his intention to retire on Thursday, although he is open to a Bills or 49ers deal late in 2025.
