After 13 seasons in the NFL and winning a Super Bowl ring, Jason Kelce, the center for the Eagles, announces his retirement.
Jason Kelce was visibly emotional as he recounted memories from his football career, particularly his time with the Philadelphia Eagles. Reflecting on childhood games with his brother, the support of his family, and the guidance of his coaches, Kelce became overwhelmed with emotion. However, it was his tenure with the Eagles that stirred the deepest emotions within him – from winning the Super Bowl to celebrating with teammates during the parade, to the influence of his cherished offensive line coach.
With memories of victories, camaraderie with teammates, and the bond with his brother Travis, who plays as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, flooding his thoughts, Kelce took about 45 minutes to come to the inevitable decision. Surrounded by a packed auditorium, it was clear to everyone that Kelce was preparing to announce his retirement.
On Monday, March 4, 2024, at the Eagles’ NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia, the 36-year-old Kelce officially bid farewell to his football career, concluding a remarkable 13-year journey spent entirely with the Eagles. Throughout his tenure, Kelce not only established himself as one of the premier centers of his era but also endeared himself to the city of Philadelphia as a beloved figure and a popular podcast host.
