Jason Kelce ‘Still Got Some Football Left,’ Says Brother Travis Kelce

 

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s future remains up in the air despite reports that the veteran told teammates he intends to retire. Kelce maintains that he has not yet made up his mind about whether he will continue to play, but his brother believes the Eagles star can continue his career if he’d like.

Travis Kelce addressed Jason’s retirement rumors at a press conference on Friday, and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end thinks Jason still has some gas left in the tank.  “It came out that he retired, and he really didn’t say any of that,” Travis Kelce said. “It’s been cool to see everybody appreciate who he’s been over the years this past week, but I think the big guy still got some football left if he wants it.”

Jason Kelce, 36, just finished his 13th NFL season, starting all 17 regular-season games on the Eagles’ dominant offensive line. This season, he was named to his seventh Pro Bowl and received first-team All-Pro recognition for the sixth time.  However, Kelce has contemplated retirement in recent years, and the Eagles just endured a disappointing ending to the ’23 season with a 32–9 loss at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Eagles almost certainly would welcome him back next season, so the decision likely will boil down to whether Jason still has a desire to play.
