Jason Kelce spent 13 seasons as a mainstay in the middle of the Eagles’ offensive line. Now, the center is calling it quits.
Kelce revealed Monday that he is retiring. The lifelong Eagle announced the decision in a news conference that was attended by media members and Kelce’s family, including his brother, Travis.
Kelce’s decision isn’t a surprise. He was the subject of retirement rumors each of the previous two offseasons. He quashed the 2022 rumors in a video that showcased him tapping a keg sent to him by Nick Sirianni to convince him to play another season.
In 2023, Kelce simply announced his intention to return in a post to X (formerly Twitter). He wrote that he “ain’t done … yet” on eve of free agency and sought to avenge Philadelphia’s Super Bowl 57 loss to Kansas City.
