Jason Kelce Says He Doesn’t Plan on Leaving Eagles, Regardless of Retirement Decision

The center hasn’t officially made a choice about if he will retire this offseason or return for a 14th season.

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce hasn’t officially announced his retirement, but the thought is definitely on his mind this offseason.

Regardless of what he decides to do next, Kelce admitted he wants to remain involved with the Eagles one way or another.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen for me. But I do know, I still want to be involved in the organization and still want to be a part of it, regardless of what the decision is,” Kelce said, via The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Because I don’t want to ever feel like I’m on the outside looking in on these achievements and these accolades and these opportunities that largely represent entire cities and fan bases and organizations. It’s too good a feeling to pass up.”

The 36-year-old has spent his entire 13 years in the NFL with the Eagles. It seems like it would be fitting for Kelce to remain with the team after all that time.

A report came out after the Eagles lost in the wild-card round to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that Kelce was set to retire, but he ended up pushing back a bit, saying he hasn’t officially decided. It sounds like he is still contemplating his next move.
