Feliciano (knee) announced Thursday via his personal social media that he is retiring from the NFL.
Feliciano says he "realized I had to leave the game" in his statement due to the fact that the knee injury that kept him out the entire 2024 campaign would prohibit him from suiting up for a full season in the future. The veteran guard did, however, state that he'd be open to returning for a playoff run in the future with either the 49ers or Bills, both teams he's previously played for. Since joining the league in 2015, Feliciano also has seen action with the Raiders and Giants.

49ers' Jon Feliciano: Headed to San Francisco
Rotowire
Feliciano signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Monday, Kim Jones of Newsday reports.
Feliciano, a former Bill and Giant, will head to San Francisco for the 2023 season. The 31-year-old is able to play the interior of the offensive line, but he may find it difficult to lock down a starting job this offseason behind center Jake Brendel and guards Spencer Burford and Aaron Banks. More than likely, Feliciano will be veteran insurance in case any of the trio suffers an injury.
