Jobless Michael Jordan

June 5th, 2026

The math looks bad for 2025 Buccaneers backup turned starting guard Michael Jordan.

Jordan made nine starts last season, which means he showed NFL executives loads of fresh film to dissect. The league watched and said, ‘Pass,’ it seems. At 28 years old with 78 games of experience under his belt, Jordan has no NFL team.

Joe has no knowledge of Jordan being injured. He was a starter for the winning Bucs in Week 18 against the Panthers.

In a league that struggles to find offensive line depth, Joe thinks Jordan looking for work says a lot.

The Bucs did retain 32-year-old guard Dan Feeney, another backup who started 10 games last season, the primary fill-in for Cody Mauch. Joe was not much of a Feeney fan and labeled him “Dangerous Dan” for his perilous play, though Joe would love to attend a Lightning game with Feeney.

    The OL backups were the worst. Keeping Feeney amazes me.

    If Feeney is anything more than a camp body, we still have a depth problem.

    😐 (my shocked face)

    Bucs had a LOT of people starting last year who are no longer in the league

    Bucs did a really poor job with having solid depth last year. Every NFL team has depth issues, but the Bucs QB, OL, DL and LB depth was awful. Outside linebacker, Offensive line and defensive line depth looks much better this year, but quarterback, inside linebacker and cornerback depth looks very shaky to me especially on the outside.

    I can’t believe they kept Feeney!!. Hopefully that is short lived. I mean he was worse than bad last year. Dangerous is a better word.

  7. Beeej Says:

    Bad as he was, he was apparently better than Klein, the guy we actually drafted

  8. Stpetematt Says:

    If the Bucs cut Feeney, other teams would pick up Jordan first. Feeney is *awful*.

    How they couldn’t find a way to get Haggard back in the lineup once he was healthy is a head scratcher. Especially when you consider how many snaps Jordan & Feeney logged. I would have shuffled that deck. Curious to see who they groom to play guard OR tackle this year. Tge line looks to be healthier & deeper this year.

    Amen on Klein, beeej. If he couldn’t beat out a stiff like Jordan and Jordan can’t find a job….

  11. Fred Says:

    Taylor Decker, Tyreek Hill, Joey Bosa don’t have teams yet i guess they didn’t put good enough tape out there. I don’t get this post.

    Maybe my eyes deceived me but rather have Michael Jordan than Dan Feeney or Klein.

    Klein, Feeney and Jordan were terrible.

    Haggard was not that bad.

    Sua looked good before he got hurt.

    Our new OG Billy Shrauth has potential.

    He played LG Ànd RG at Notre Dame.
    He was a team captain.
    He’s 6-5 and 310.
    He needs a year in the weight room.

    He needs 15 pounds ASAP.

    But hopefully he can be our swing OG next year.

    I’m hoping Sua will be our swing OG this year.

    I’m sorry but it seems that every year teams lose 1 of their 2 guards.

    Every team man.

    I think we should always invest in 3 guards. High draft picks.

    No guards? No running game!!
