Jason Kelce Fantasy Stats

Seven-time Pro Bowl center and Philadelphia Eagles sports icon Jason Kelce officially announced on Monday that he is retiring from the NFL. All signs were pointing to Kelce hanging up his cleats this offseason after 13 years in the league following the Eagles' early exit from the postseason earlier this year. The 36-year-old will now walk away after being selected to seven Pro Bowl teams and six first-team All-Pro squads. He won one Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl LII with Philadelphia and has a strong case for a bust in Canton, Ohio, in the Hall of Fame down the road. Kelce's departure in Philadelphia will most likely have big ramifications for the Eagles' offensive line moving forward, and it will be interesting to see how effective their offense is moving forward in short-yardage situations with the "tush push."

Philadelphia Eagles star center Jason Kelce said he'll make an official announcement about the status of his NFL career "in the future." Multiple reports suggested that Kelce planned to retire from the NFL following the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night after he completed his 13th season in the NFL. "I just don't think you're in a position after a game like that to make that decision," Kelce told his brother, Travis, during their podcast. A sixth-round selection in 2011, Kelce was an underdog story and eventually earned his sixth All-Pro selection in his age-36 season in 2023. He has discussed retirement both privately and publicly over the past year, so it would be a surprise if he didn't eventually officially announce his retirement after a disappointing end to what was looking like another promising year for Philadelphia.

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.

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with veteran center Jason Kelce on Monday. Kelce was contemplating retirement this offseason after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but he has decided to return for another year after plenty of thought. The 35-year-old five-time All-Pro will return for a 13th NFL campaign as he looks to get back to the Super Bowl. He remains one of the best centers in the league despite being close to the end of his career. Kelce has played in at least 16 games in each of the last eight years. His return is great news for the Eagles offense.

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce will consider retirement in the weeks ahead. He will likely make his final decision on his playing future before the new league year begins in March, and the Eagles would like to have his decision by then as well. "I know it's coming," Kelce said. "It's getting closer and closer each day. I'm just trying to enjoy this moment now and attack that when it gets here." The 35-year-old has considered retirement each of the last several offseasons. He's played for the Eagles in all 12 of his NFL seasons, and he signed a one-year, $14 million deal in 2022 that made him the league's highest-paid center. The six-time Pro Bowler doesn't think the result of the Super Bowl will impact his decision.

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce (elbow) underwent elbow surgery but is expected to be ready for Week 1. The surgery was described as a minor scope to clean out his elbow, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. There's still a chance that Kelce could miss a game or two to open the regular season, but the team chose to get it done now so that he won't be dealing with it during the season. The 34-year-old remains one of the best centers in the league on an offensive line that is one of the most talented units in the NFL. This could be Kelce's final season of professional football after he considered retirement in the offseason.

The Philadelphia Eagles are giving center Jason Kelce what is essentially a one-year deal worth $14 million in 2022, according to a source. Kelce will play another season as the league's highest-paid center. The 34-year-old veteran announced on Thursday that he will return for another season after contemplating retirement yet again this offseason. Kelce battled injuries last year, but the five-time Pro Bowl center has started every game for the Eagles since the 2015 season. The return of Kelce is good news for quarterback Jalen Hurts as he heads into his second full season as the starting signal-caller.

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce announced on social media on Thursday that he will return for the 2022 season. The 34-year-old has considered retirement the last couple of offseasons, but he said he's still having way too much fun playing football. Kelce has battle injuries consistently, but the five-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro has started every game for Philadelphia at center since 2015. His return is good news for quarterback Jalen Hurts as he enters his second season as the team's full-time starter.

Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce has yet to make a decision on whether he'll return for a 12th NFL season in 2022. "We've been in communication. We're hopeful. There's been no final decision made," Sirianni said, adding that the team delivered a keg of beer to Kelce on Wednesday to help sway the center's intentions. Sirianni said the Eagles have several internal options and can acquire players in the draft or free agency if Kelce chooses to retire. The 34-year-old is as decorated as they come as far as top-notch NFL centers, as he made his third straight Pro Bowl (fifth overall) in 2021 and didn't miss a single game. Kelce was also named a first-team All-Pro for the fourth time in his illustrious career.

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Nate Herbig is in at center. Kelce has been on the sideline working out, but appears to be having issues planting his leg. His absence will be a big blow for the Eagles run game if he's unable to return.
