Is Jason Kelce Retiring? Jason Kelce Retiring from NFL After 13 Seasons with Philadelphia Eagles

Jason Kelce is reportedly walking away from playing football. 

All-Pro center Jason Kelce has chosen to resign after the group’s season-finisher misfortune to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Three unknown sources hinted to the Associated Press regarding Kelce’s choice, which, at this point, has not been authoritatively unveiled.

The 36-year-old future Hall-of-Famer was noticeably disturbed uninvolved toward the finish of Philadelphia’s 32-9 misfortune at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

Kelce had all the earmarks of being crying during the last seconds of the game when ESPN cameras panned to him uninvolved.

“That seems as though a man loaded up with feeling at present,” said Troy Aikman, who was calling the game with Joe Buck in the corner.

Over the course of Kelce’s football journey extended over 13 in the league with the Eagles, making him the establishment’s unequaled forerunner in games played. Known for his beefy casing, rugged-haired, and hairy appearance, Kelce has been a staple of the Falcons’ hostile line, acquiring seven Expert Bowl determinations and assuming an urgent part in the group’s triumph in Super Bowl LII in 2017.

Off the field, Kelce is highly regarded by the Philadelphia faithful, showing his charismatic personality. He was also showcasing his concerns as a father of three young daughters — Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 11 months.

Jason Kelce’s Wife Statement

His wife, Kylie Kelce, said that he’s  telling her that he’ll retire “for years”, and he also said that “I always tell people, no matter what happens with football, how it ends, I would like him to retire when he is still able to get down on the floor and play with our kids comfortably.”

At Monday’s game, Kelce was asked by the reporters whether he’d given retirement more thought and he didn’t close up the idea.

“My dad’s told me this from the moment I started playing football: You step off the curb one day and that could be the end of your career,” he also mentioned. “So you try to approach every game with that mindset. But obviously, the closer and the older you get to that being a realization puts it out in front maybe a little bit more.”

Kelce declared his consideration about retirement wouldn’t be the “main thing” in his thoughts during the playoff game, though.

Jason Kelce’s impact goes beyond the football field. He is a legend.
