Jason Kelce Planning To Retire

Jason Kelce Planning To Retire

11 months ago

Six-time All-Pro and future Hall of Fame center Jason Kelce told his Philadelphia Eagles teammates in Monday night's postgame locker room that he is in fact retiring after the team lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 32-9 in the wild-card round. The 36-year-old became visibly emotional at the end of Monday's game and has considered retiring after other recent seasons, but this time is said to be real and happening. Kelce spent 13 years in the league, all with the Eagles, after initially being a sixth-round selection in 2011 out of Cincinnati. One of the best centers in the game during his 13-year run in the NFL, the Eagles are going to have a difficult time replacing him, and their tush-push efforts next season may not be as successful without Kelce anchoring the offensive line.
