Former Arizona Cardinals Kicker’s Congressional Run Ends in Defeat

The Arizona Cardinals are having a fascinating 2026 season – both on and off-the-field. This includes for former kicker Jay Feely, who spent the last several months in a campaign for higher office. Feely, a player from the Cardinals from 2010-13, originally ran for congress in Arizona’s 5th district. He then opted to change the running district to the first district. The 50-year-old won the primary, coincidentally running against the former team doctor of the New York Jets during his time with the franchise in the process.
