Jason Kelce informed the Eagles he is retiring

[Carson]

I’ll believe it when he’s not there next season

They'll be better than us at center next year unless we sign or draft a stud.

They have two guys on the roster that are probably better than Biadasz. They'll likely be just fine at center next year (obviously not as great if they had Kelce still).

I liked Cam Jurgens in the draft but I still think he’s a step below what Kelce brought.

Even then, you open up your starting right guard spot.

You could tell by the emotional look on his face as the clock was running down last night this was his last game.

Dude is a stud and a solid guy. Wish him well in retirement and hopefully see him announcing plays he’s got a good voice for it.

The dude is 36.

I like him better than his brother Travis!!

The dude is 36.

Ok? I didn’t say anything about his age.

Crazy career. Walked on to Cincinnati as a fullback then moved to center. Gets drafted 6th round due to small size and then becomes a 7x first team all pro with 6 of those being AP.

Late career boom as well. His 30th birthday he had 1 pro bowl and zero all pro selections.

He'll be back next year. This is his annual dance. Once it sets in that he won't be playing ever again if retired, he will change his mind. Travis will be a big influence with his decision. The guy is just too good to hang it up.

No he will not be back next year, he has nothing left to prove, he is done

What was his contract status?

This will create $25 million dead cap space for the Eagles in 2024. Yummy!

He is also a great Dad it's hard to have any hate for him

I'll always see him a great throwback football player and never one who played for the eagles. It's too bad because todays players could take a lesson from him.

I don't get the feel that Jason is a fit in a network broadcast booth (jacket and tie, along with being paired up with a milktoast play-by-play guy) every week in an NFL season.

 

[CowboysFanLover]

Congratulations Kelce on your retirement! He is one of the few Eagles players that I have respect for besides Warren Moon, Cris Carter, and Brian Dawkins

I can totally get that sentiment. He’s just natural when paired as a team. I get it’s his brother but their podcast is really good, and I’m not really a podcast guy. I think I’ve probably listened to 6 different podcasts in 7 years?
