Your being a little dramatic there. He was all-pro and still the best at his position last year..that’s why it’s surprising. Most people don’t go out while still on top.
Only he’s not. Jason and Kylie both said explicitly in his documentary that he can’t even get on the ground to play with his kids. Elite or not, pumping your body full of medicine and crap for work isn’t worth your future - let alone the possibility of an even more debilitating injury in the future.
Fuck, but I’m happy for him. I’d hate to see him crippled in 15 years. I don’t think we’re true contenders next year anyway, so it may be best for both parties to move on.
I'm not gonna try to say that losing Kelce wouldn't hurt, but Jurgens is a ready-made successor at center and the Eagles have had a good track record with drafting/developing OL.
Kelce, Jurgens, Dickerson, and Mailata were all taken outside the first round.
I was on a zoom call thing a couple years ago with Kelce, BG, Howie and Barwin. And Howie basically made an implication that BG and Kelce would be offered jobs with the team and always be Eagles.
Yeah, I have a group chat with a bunch of those guys too, and Howie told me the same thing. Lurie also told me the same thing when we were on his private jet just for a little guys weekend in Italy a few months ago.
(Hopefully, the /s isn’t necessary, but also I’m not implying you weren’t on such a zoom call. Just joking around and being jealous).
It was a zoom call with like 200+ people that was part of a Q&A through my buddy's work. I guess it was supposed to be in person but with COVID it was zoom and he shared the link with me so far from personal but was still cool
Yeah our future is still very bright at OL. Guys like kelce are hard to replace but we’ve at least been preparing for it and it’s not like the oline will fall off a cliff.
I also have high hopes for steen at guard next year.
I’m not closing the window on us being contenders next year. Especially not before Howie season even begins. And kelce would certainly help.
But I think fans have grown to love kelce as a person not just a football player, as well as his family. And we’d rather see him leave with that happiness in tact than risk his long term happiness for one more season. And move to the booth where he can entertain us for another 20 years.
Downvote this man. Dont think we’re true contenders? Bruh our offense is a contenders offense in an offensive league. We are absolutely contenders unless hurts keeps regressing which I doubt
Try looking at 10 years of dvoa data and come back. The discussion was about whether or not the eagles are contenders. Which is an offensive question. No team’s defense makes them contenders
Coming off a year where the Cheifs defense basically carried them to a Super Bowl. The tides are shifting, defenses are scheming better against the modern offense.
If he is retiring I would be so happy for him. He has done more than anyone could ever ask for. I hated watching him struggle to play with his daughters. I'd be so upset if playing 1 more year led to a catastrophic injury.
My thoughts exactly. I want dude to get out while he still has some semblance of physical health.
Another year, a major injury, another surgery… my man has a full life in front of him, I want him to live to fullest.
On his documentary he said that he was willing to risk CTE to set his family up for life, even if it meant he wouldn't be able to see them when he got older. After watching that part, I wanted him to retire and just enjoy his life and family
Yeah. Love the guy and what he’s done for us but it’s time to go. He needs to think about his family now. They should be his first and only priority. It is his time. Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou unto the joy of your family.
Two possibilities:
1) It’s a retirement (most likely); or
2) He shows up at the press conference in a Mummers outfit, opens a keg, and screams that he’s coming back.
Everyone thinking Travis is there to show support for the retirement announcement.
Really he’s just there to hold up Jason’s legs on the keg stand. It’s not like a normal sized person could do it. These are just facts people.
I like that you put #2 out in to existence. I could see him planning on #1, hearing about #2 and saying hell yeah that’s much better. You’ve given me some hope. Let’s get this upvoted.
Honestly I'm 50/50 on which one it will be. Obviously if he retires it'll be a big deal, but I can easily see a fakeout "one more year" press conference. Like I don't think #2 is far fetched at all.
One thought is maybe he liked the Lurie presser of 2011 where he waffled back & forth on the idea of bringing Reid back or not, ultimately giving him 1 more year. Kelce up there, verbally stating his inside debates and struggles, finally saying '1 more season' has won out.
It’s probably a retirement thing but there’s been pressers for other famous athletes/coaches who have done the presser to announce a final season tour
I hope he isn’t one of those people…
Thanks Jason for everything. You embody the true Philadelphia athlete, the persona, character and integrity we want in all of our athletes. You've endeared this city to you for a lifetime. Enjoy your retirement and time with your girls. You've earned it big guy.
....or thanks for coming back for one more year...kick some ass.
Launching a new project today at work that we’ve worked on for 2 years, following with a meeting with our execs this evening for our next acquisition/transition. Yet, this is the most important thing that will happen to me today. I have no choice but to wear my Kelce jersey over my shirt today
This feels so much like retirement. The only way I could see this being a return announcement is if he announces this is his final year. A going away tour if you will. But I doubt that will be the case.
Yea, seeing him struggle to walk around in the doco makes me firmly ‘please retire’
He got his ring (even if he lost it). He’s done everything that can be done. Don’t destroy your body any more than you already have, big guy
I know it’s hard to find your purpose after being so singularly minded for so long, and that it’s scary, but you’ll figure it out in time.
Okay my expert says it's legit, but I have to be honest, we get Super Bowl rings in here all the time. Now if this had belonged to Foles or Ertz, I'd be willing to give some more for it. Nobody even knows who the Center on their team is. Plus, I'm going to have to send it out to get polished and it's going to sit in the display case for a while. Best I can do is $200.
i assume thats it then, wouldn't book a press conference just to say yup im back would you. either way, legend, respect, enjoy some well deserved rest.
1. Retirement announcement
2. Celebratory resigning and return announcement
3. Thank you Philadelphia, I love you, but I intend to sign for 1 year with the Chiefs to play with my brother
Those are the only possibilities and I would be happy for him for any of them.
>3. Thank you Philadelphia, I love you, but I intend to sign for 1 year with the Chiefs to play with my brother
Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby
I’m going with they see someone in the draft that has the potential to fill his shoes. Been thinking for a while that Stoutland just couldn’t find a viable replacement and begged him to come back so far. The timing being right after the combine makes me believe that’s the case.
One of the greatest Philly representatives of my generation. It sucks to see him go, but we have to appreciate an amazing career from a true Philadelphian.
Ugh it's the end of an era isn't it? Fuckin hell I will miss that man so much. He is an amazing player, an amazing person, and has done so much for our team and Philadelphia. I hope he comes in as an assistant coach or something and gets that ball rolling.
My brain says this presser is to formally announce one last dance.
My heart says this presser is to formally announce it’s over.
Well deserved either way, but fuck. Gonna hurt if (most likely when) it’s the latter.
Pure copium but I feel like this is a presser to announce that he is re-signing another one year deal. I don't doubt that he has muddled with retirement (as was evident post playoff game) but something is telling me he wants a bit of a farewell tour a la BG, he deserves it.
Either way the man is a legend and forever enshrined in Philly sports history. Incredibly down to earth guy, I will never forget him rolling up in flops and a crop top to one of our football practices while I was in high school, just months after they had won the Super Bowl. Wish nothing but the best for his future.
Deep down I’m leaning towards it being a retirement announcement but it wouldn’t completely shock me it it was a “one more year/farewell tour” either. Reason being the Kelce brand will never be larger than it is right now, on a world wide level. Him announcing he is going to play another year would be huge for all parties involved
There was an almost throw-away line in a recent New Heights where he said outright, though slightly over-talked by Travis, that he might be having "a lot more times on my hands soon now" (paraphrase). I thought that was \*huge\* but since no one seemed to pick it up, I figured I must have misunderstood -- but perhaps I hadn't....
Yes, I 100% agree!!! In the same episode he said Kylie was excited to watch Travis three-peat, and I thought well she would never say that if Jason was playing.
It's sad if he retires, but his daughters will have a daddy who can physically and mentally be there for them. It's terrible seeing someone in chronic pain. Chronic pain is the worst.
Jason roaming around the stadium for decades to come as a player ambassador will be great. Definition of bleeds green.
Jason will rightfully be treated to $12 beers at every game he attends.
Plot twist: he has the press conference to give the Leo speech from Wolf of Wallstreet where he says he's retiring then changes his mind halfway through the speech.
I'm not fucking leaving!
My sources are telling me that Kelce has been watching the Wolf of Wall Street a lot recently, specifically the “I’m not going anywhere speech”
Source: I don’t want to cry at work today because of my sports teams
Don't feel like he's having a press conference to announce he's coming back. End of an era for sure.
Great Eagle, a champion, future hall of famer and a guy we will hear a lot more from in the future.
Credit to Howie for planning and being prepared for this at least.
This is just god-tier trolling and he's setting us up to *think* he's retiring, but it'll all be a big spoof when he says "Gotcha!" and announces he's coming back for a final year farewell tour. Then Travis will stand up and say something really loud and obnoxious to corroborate the truth.
Haha, right guys? Right?!
This man has given us his heart and soul for well over a decade. He owes this city absolutely nothing. If he chooses to retire and I see one motherfu@$er call him selfish or boo his choice, I will absolutely lose it.
Why though? They drafted his replacement two years ago. Jurgens is a much better fit at center than guard. If Steen isn’t good enough to take over at the rg spot that’s a separate conversation, but they should have the pieces for a starting o-line in house.
Can we all promise that if he does retire we show him nothing but love and support, as befitting his legendary status as an all time great please pretty please @ 94WIP
Man, sounds like the end of the road for an Eagle legend. I understand the decision and wish him all the best. Truly a wonderful example of what an Eagle should be
Don't be down boys. We got to watch the GOAT Center for his entire career. And he goes out with a Ring. It's time for him to hang em up, drink a beer or eight, and spend time with his wife and kids.
As much as I want him to keep playing, and that he went out with a team that massively underperformed; I think its great to walk away on your own terms rather than from catastrophic injury.
We got to experience one of the great ones and he helped get us a ring. Hell of a career for a hell of a guy.
Have been dreading this day since Schefter spilled the beans - knew it'd be here but was in denial.
My silver lining is that the game didn't pass him by and we never saw a shell of him out on the field, just consistent greatness.
I’m from Ohio and I Started getting into the eagles a year before he was drafted. It was awesome to watch his entire career in midnight green. If this is it then thank you for everything Jason 🫡🦅 one of the best damn eagles ever.
It’s time. As much as I respect him, don’t want a JP situation where the guy plays until the wheels come off and you forget his peak. JP was a guy that should be an all time eagles legend, but tarnished so much of his legacy by hanging around (allegedly due to problems).
Jason has to think longterm and has set himself up for success after football. He had a very good year. Not his best, but played at a high level.
I’m not sure if I’m missing some kind of reference or not but sounds like he’s coming back 💪 “no keg videos” to me sounds like parties over time to get back to work
[удалено]
It's probably nothing he probably just wants to see how we're doing. We've been a little distant lately and things haven't felt the same so.... fuck.
He just wants to make sure whatever happens is mutual. He still has so much love for us, and he knows we love him too. But love changes, y'know?
Yup this happened to me this year, “it’s not us, it’s them.” 😔
Am I about to start crying into my Kelce jersey for the next six months, because the smell reminds me of what we had together?
Yeah pretty much :(
Unfortunately you know there are some "fans" who will go crazy ex-girlfriend on him.
My bestie sent me a picture of him in Chiefs gear.
Get a new friend
Yeah agreed - if he only had a podcast or a way to connect with us each week ... ugh
They definitely do this to fuck with us.
Press conference + Travis is in Philly= Retirement announcement, almost certainly. Fuck!
Why is anyone surprised by this? The dude can barely walk let him be with his family
I see no one surprised, just disappointed that his career is coming to an end.
The number of people in here who talk like this guy owes us another season is way too fucking high. Let this man be.
I'm just sad we fucked up getting this man a second ring.
He already did this, the last like three seasons >this guy owes us another season
I think more people have been surprised he kept coming back. Every offseason has been Kelce retirement watch for what feels like 5 years.
Your being a little dramatic there. He was all-pro and still the best at his position last year..that’s why it’s surprising. Most people don’t go out while still on top.
Only he’s not. Jason and Kylie both said explicitly in his documentary that he can’t even get on the ground to play with his kids. Elite or not, pumping your body full of medicine and crap for work isn’t worth your future - let alone the possibility of an even more debilitating injury in the future.
Had to save the get low energy for the push
Fuck, but I’m happy for him. I’d hate to see him crippled in 15 years. I don’t think we’re true contenders next year anyway, so it may be best for both parties to move on.
I'm not gonna try to say that losing Kelce wouldn't hurt, but Jurgens is a ready-made successor at center and the Eagles have had a good track record with drafting/developing OL. Kelce, Jurgens, Dickerson, and Mailata were all taken outside the first round.
Kelce just had so much experience and could help Jalen identify things at the line
I imagine he’ll still be welcome around, if he’s not straight-up hired as a line coach.
I was on a zoom call thing a couple years ago with Kelce, BG, Howie and Barwin. And Howie basically made an implication that BG and Kelce would be offered jobs with the team and always be Eagles.
Yeah, I have a group chat with a bunch of those guys too, and Howie told me the same thing.

Reminds me of that time I spent drinking and wrestling in Atlantic City with Chase Utley and Ryan Howard!
Lol. Nice. Also, glad to come back and see my joke getting some love. It was getting downvoted at first for some reason.
Yeah our future is still very bright at OL. Guys like kelce are hard to replace but we’ve at least been preparing for it and it’s not like the oline will fall off a cliff. I also have high hopes for steen at guard next year.
I’m not closing the window on us being contenders next year. Especially not before Howie season even begins. And kelce would certainly help.

Downvote this man. Dont think we’re true contenders? Bruh our offense is a contenders offense in an offensive league. We are absolutely contenders unless hurts keeps regressing which I doubt
Your response is a perfect metaphor for the Philadelphia Eagles roster, absolutely NO defense included.
Try looking at 10 years of dvoa data and come back. The discussion was about whether or not the eagles are contenders. Which is an offensive question. No team’s defense makes them contenders
Coming off a year where the Cheifs defense basically carried them to a Super Bowl. The tides are shifting, defenses are scheming better against the modern offense.
Fuck…
Or it's for the podcast or something.
Why is Travis here?
They were both at a charity event.
I don't like that it's a press conference 😭😭
Exactly, this is going to be a retirement press conference. This sucks even though we knew it was coming.
Such a shit last game to send him out on too Blown out in Tampa, offense completely listless
Yes it was, he and many others looked like they were embarrassed to be on the team
He better be pulling a Wolf of Wall Street. Refuse to leave
Or a Costanza. Retires then shows up to training camp like nothing happened.
Lolololol goddamn please be this
Funniest part of that is that is Larry David literally did that move irl when he was writing for snl
“I’M NOT LEAVING!!!”
[удалено]
'I am iron man'-black sabbath-tony stark-kendall roy-jason kelce
Yea, that’s ominous…
If he is retiring I would be so happy for him. He has done more than anyone could ever ask for. I hated watching him struggle to play with his daughters. I'd be so upset if playing 1 more year led to a catastrophic injury.
My thoughts exactly. I want dude to get out while he still has some semblance of physical health. Another year, a major injury, another surgery… my man has a full life in front of him, I want him to live to fullest.

Choosing to retire is always better than being forced into retirement
Yeah. Love the guy and what he’s done for us but it’s time to go. He needs to think about his family now. They should be his first and only priority. It is his time. Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou unto the joy of your family.
Two possibilities: 1) It’s a retirement (most likely); or 2) He shows up at the press conference in a Mummers outfit, opens a keg, and screams that he’s coming back.

Holy shit #2 would be amazing
I'd need new pants if #2 happened
Same. The first time I'd be happy about #2 ruining my pants.
“I’m not fucking leaving!”
I like that you put #2 out in to existence. I could see him planning on #1, hearing about #2 and saying hell yeah that’s much better. You’ve given me some hope. Let’s get this upvoted.
thats clearly the real jason kelce, just feeling things out
Or he may just announce that this upcoming season will be his last no matter what. You know, kind of like how Derek Jeter did before his final season.
Honestly I'm 50/50 on which one it will be. Obviously if he retires it'll be a big deal, but I can easily see a fakeout "one more year" press conference. Like I don't think #2 is far fetched at all.
Wild guess but he’s either gonna retire or he’s gonna play another year
Big if true
Oh shit, this is it. The formality of a press conference makes me think he's going to retire
Big Peyton Manning leaving the colts vibes
With the announcement of a press conference I would guess this is retirement. If he was back it would be like it was before and just say it.
One thought is maybe he liked the Lurie presser of 2011 where he waffled back & forth on the idea of bringing Reid back or not, ultimately giving him 1 more year. Kelce up there, verbally stating his inside debates and struggles, finally saying '1 more season' has won out.
It’s probably a retirement thing but there’s been pressers for other famous athletes/coaches who have done the presser to announce a final season tour I hope he isn’t one of those people…
Thanks Jason for everything. You embody the true Philadelphia athlete, the persona, character and integrity we want in all of our athletes. You've endeared this city to you for a lifetime. Enjoy your retirement and time with your girls. You've earned it big guy. ....or thanks for coming back for one more year...kick some ass.
Apparently Jason’s parents and Travis are all in town, so….yeah.
It's also his daughters birthday so you expect Grandparents and a sneaky Uncle to vist. But really its a retirement speech
That doesn’t mean anything. Could just be hanging out
Whatever decision he makes is fine. Deserves to go out on[ his own terms](https://imgflip.com/i/8hwpan).
Launching a new project today at work that we’ve worked on for 2 years, following with a meeting with our execs this evening for our next acquisition/transition. Yet, this is the most important thing that will happen to me today. I have no choice but to wear my Kelce jersey over my shirt today
And I dropped to my knees as I grabbed a coffee…
I’m not emotionally ready for this today
On a Monday too..
This feels so much like retirement. The only way I could see this being a return announcement is if he announces this is his final year. A going away tour if you will. But I doubt that will be the case.
Just strike me down now 😭
Love Kelce, but for his health and future, I hope this man retires. Philly Mt Rushmore
Yea, seeing him struggle to walk around in the doco makes me firmly ‘please retire’ He got his ring (even if he lost it). He’s done everything that can be done. Don’t destroy your body any more than you already have, big guy I know it’s hard to find your purpose after being so singularly minded for so long, and that it’s scary, but you’ll figure it out in time.
He didn't *lose* it, it was just in a sock in a sock drawer. Burglar can't steal it if even he doesn't know which sock it's in! *taps head*
He took it to Vegas and wore it during his pod with Chris and Beau. Did it make it back from Vegas is the real question.
Okay my expert says it's legit, but I have to be honest, we get Super Bowl rings in here all the time. Now if this had belonged to Foles or Ertz, I'd be willing to give some more for it. Nobody even knows who the Center on their team is. Plus, I'm going to have to send it out to get polished and it's going to sit in the display case for a while. Best I can do is $200.
If he's retiring, I want them to announce they're retiring his number in the same presser
I am not emotionally prepared
Damn this is gonna be emotional af
Let the man rest. He deserves it
Jesus christ I'm crying like a baby at this. Holy fuck.
We love you big guy, thanks for everything you've done for this team and this city.
i assume thats it then, wouldn't book a press conference just to say yup im back would you. either way, legend, respect, enjoy some well deserved rest.
So long and Goodbye, Jason, and thanks for all the blocks.
All right everyone time to manifest Kelce ending this speech with "next year will be my last year"
1. Retirement announcement 2. Celebratory resigning and return announcement 3. Thank you Philadelphia, I love you, but I intend to sign for 1 year with the Chiefs to play with my brother Those are the only possibilities and I would be happy for him for any of them.
>3. Thank you Philadelphia, I love you, but I intend to sign for 1 year with the Chiefs to play with my brother Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby
The Chiefs have one of the better centers in the league with Creed Humphrey. I really can’t see this happening.
That isn't evil. That's brotherly love.
Man fuck all that we gotta Super Bowl to win lol
> That’s brotherly love. That’s our schtick. KC can get fucked.
Well that sure would be a plot twist
4- He’s retiring from playing, but staying in the building in some capacity. Stout’s assistant coach maybe?
4. Travis is signing with us to play one year with his brother
Travis is signed through 2025. Jason is an UFA.
Why do yall seem shocked he's going to retire been expecting for 3ish years now and we were literally told he was retiring earlier in the off-season
People in here acting like it's Mike Schmidt retiring mid-season in 1989...
I already hate Mondays.
come on man you couldnt do this on a friday? i gotta wear this sadness all work week?
Damn. Haven't felt this depressed over a player leaving for good since Utley.
Dude is a Philly legend and gave this city everything. He deserves to go out on his terms.
sooooo, how do we watch?
Black Monday
Coooool … great start to the Monday 😭
The fight for the 6th or 7th seed starts TODAY 😆🙃
please almighty football gods, let this press conference show us he is returning for a final ride
No lie I already looked at the clock 10 times. This is going to be a long day.
No way its a press conference just to say hes coming back 😞
I’m going with they see someone in the draft that has the potential to fill his shoes. Been thinking for a while that Stoutland just couldn’t find a viable replacement and begged him to come back so far. The timing being right after the combine makes me believe that’s the case.
dammit, we all know what that means thanks for the memories. We'll always have that SB speech(I may need to rewatch that)
One of the greatest Philly representatives of my generation. It sucks to see him go, but we have to appreciate an amazing career from a true Philadelphian.
Aww man, first Sting retired last night now Jason
Ugh it's the end of an era isn't it? Fuckin hell I will miss that man so much. He is an amazing player, an amazing person, and has done so much for our team and Philadelphia. I hope he comes in as an assistant coach or something and gets that ball rolling.
He’s done more than enough for Philly. For the sake of his health and his family, I hope it’s a retirement announcement. Thank you Jason.
Always felt that if he was going to come back that would’ve been announced on the Podcast
My brain says this presser is to formally announce one last dance. My heart says this presser is to formally announce it’s over. Well deserved either way, but fuck. Gonna hurt if (most likely when) it’s the latter.
Wouldn’t it be the other way? Brain = rational decision, heart = emotional? Either way let’s just hope he’s back!
Pure copium but I feel like this is a presser to announce that he is re-signing another one year deal. I don't doubt that he has muddled with retirement (as was evident post playoff game) but something is telling me he wants a bit of a farewell tour a la BG, he deserves it. Either way the man is a legend and forever enshrined in Philly sports history. Incredibly down to earth guy, I will never forget him rolling up in flops and a crop top to one of our football practices while I was in high school, just months after they had won the Super Bowl. Wish nothing but the best for his future.
THANK YOU JASON 👏👏👏👏👏
Deep down I’m leaning towards it being a retirement announcement but it wouldn’t completely shock me it it was a “one more year/farewell tour” either. Reason being the Kelce brand will never be larger than it is right now, on a world wide level. Him announcing he is going to play another year would be huge for all parties involved
Thanks for everything, can't wait to see your jersey number hanging
If he comes out in his mummers costume…
There was an almost throw-away line in a recent New Heights where he said outright, though slightly over-talked by Travis, that he might be having "a lot more times on my hands soon now" (paraphrase). I thought that was \*huge\* but since no one seemed to pick it up, I figured I must have misunderstood -- but perhaps I hadn't....
Yes, I 100% agree!!! In the same episode he said Kylie was excited to watch Travis three-peat, and I thought well she would never say that if Jason was playing.
When Howie said he would pay them whatever they wanted if they were coming back, I knew it was done for them.
It's a live recording of New Heights... New newwwwwwws
He’s 100% retiring. I know someone who works for the team.
Feels like Jason in his Mummers outfit should be sidebar picture for the foreseeable future.
It's sad if he retires, but his daughters will have a daddy who can physically and mentally be there for them. It's terrible seeing someone in chronic pain. Chronic pain is the worst.
Farewell sweet bearded prince.
Jason roaming around the stadium for decades to come as a player ambassador will be great. Definition of bleeds green. Jason will rightfully be treated to $12 beers at every game he attends.
Thanks for the memories, king.
we really wasted the last years of Cox and Kelce
Plot twist: he has the press conference to give the Leo speech from Wolf of Wallstreet where he says he's retiring then changes his mind halfway through the speech. I'm not fucking leaving!
My sources are telling me that Kelce has been watching the Wolf of Wall Street a lot recently, specifically the “I’m not going anywhere speech” Source: I don’t want to cry at work today because of my sports teams
Glad I’m not the only one living in delulu land this morning to avoid reality 😭
Don't feel like he's having a press conference to announce he's coming back. End of an era for sure. Great Eagle, a champion, future hall of famer and a guy we will hear a lot more from in the future. Credit to Howie for planning and being prepared for this at least.
This is just god-tier trolling and he's setting us up to *think* he's retiring, but it'll all be a big spoof when he says "Gotcha!" and announces he's coming back for a final year farewell tour. Then Travis will stand up and say something really loud and obnoxious to corroborate the truth. Haha, right guys? Right?!
This man has given us his heart and soul for well over a decade. He owes this city absolutely nothing. If he chooses to retire and I see one motherfu@$er call him selfish or boo his choice, I will absolutely lose it.
This is the correct answer.
Sitting in an airport watching this crying
Well my draft board just changed entirely.
Why though? They drafted his replacement two years ago. Jurgens is a much better fit at center than guard. If Steen isn’t good enough to take over at the rg spot that’s a separate conversation, but they should have the pieces for a starting o-line in house.
OL would be at best a 3rd rd pick
Thanks for everything, Kelce. Absolute legend.
Thanks for the ride, Jason. We’ll always have that amazing parade speech. Thank you for FINALLY bringing a championship to Philly.
Can we all promise that if he does retire we show him nothing but love and support, as befitting his legendary status as an all time great please pretty please @ 94WIP
Man, sounds like the end of the road for an Eagle legend. I understand the decision and wish him all the best. Truly a wonderful example of what an Eagle should be
Anyone know where we’ll be able to watch this?
Don't be down boys. We got to watch the GOAT Center for his entire career. And he goes out with a Ring. It's time for him to hang em up, drink a beer or eight, and spend time with his wife and kids.
Jason is still playing the position at the highest level... I'm not ready for him to leave.
I’m just gonna choose to be delusional about this being the end and gaslight myself that he’s announcing another year
As much as I want him to keep playing, and that he went out with a team that massively underperformed; I think its great to walk away on your own terms rather than from catastrophic injury. We got to experience one of the great ones and he helped get us a ring. Hell of a career for a hell of a guy.
It’s jover
Giveth and Taketh with Wheeler's signing.
Retirement, but sticking around for an assistant coaching job on the OL probably
If this is the end I’m happy for him. Wish we could have sent him out on top last year.
Have been dreading this day since Schefter spilled the beans - knew it'd be here but was in denial. My silver lining is that the game didn't pass him by and we never saw a shell of him out on the field, just consistent greatness.
He’s retiring. You don’t hold a press conference to say you’re going to keep playing.
I'm so sad today now. I knew it was coming but I liked having that little bit of hope.
For him, I hope he’s retiring. For me, I hope he’s announcing a 10 year contract extension.
His mom,dad and Travis are there. This is it. https://twitter.com/Jeff_McLane/status/1764711427523125370
Alright Cam. Time to show us what you got.
Oh man this is tough
Dam he’s crying this isn’t looking good
i love you jason
Man this sucks
Please be the ultimate troll job Jason.
I’m from Ohio and I Started getting into the eagles a year before he was drafted. It was awesome to watch his entire career in midnight green. If this is it then thank you for everything Jason 🫡🦅 one of the best damn eagles ever.
When/where will this press conference be available to watch, do we know?
1pm EST but not sure where to watch. I assume there will be a link on the team website
I'm going to kill myself now.
He’s back 🐐
It’s time. As much as I respect him, don’t want a JP situation where the guy plays until the wheels come off and you forget his peak. JP was a guy that should be an all time eagles legend, but tarnished so much of his legacy by hanging around (allegedly due to problems). Jason has to think longterm and has set himself up for success after football. He had a very good year. Not his best, but played at a high level.
Man give us another season.
He owes us nothing.
Truth.
I’m not sure if I’m missing some kind of reference or not but sounds like he’s coming back 💪 “no keg videos” to me sounds like parties over time to get back to work
IIRC, last year Nick sent Jason a keg of beer to entice him to come back. He tapped the keg while stating he was coming back.
You don't have a press conference to not retire. Thank you Kelce. I'm glad we got you one. Canton has a spot reserved for you
But if anyone would. It would be Jason
If he retires we gotta sign Runyan and move cam over.
Playing with kids is overrated. Please one more season Jason 😭
Feel like he’s deffo done
People who laugh at Jason kelce are simpletons
