Jason Kelce Still Has “Some Football Left” Despite Retirement Rumors, Says Brother Travis Kelce

Amidst retirement rumors swirling around Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, his brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has come forward to clarify that Jason still has “some football left” in him.

Following the Eagles’ wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, rumors began circulating that Jason Kelce was planning to retire. However, Travis Kelce addressed these rumors during a press conference, stating that Jason never made any official retirement announcement.

Travis Kelce expressed empathy for his brother, acknowledging that Jason has been contemplating retirement for the past couple of years. He also mentioned a documentary that sheds light on Jason’s thoughts about retirement. According to Travis, the emotional end to the game against the Buccaneers made it clear that Jason has been wrestling with this decision.

Travis Kelce, a two-time Super Bowl champion, believes that Jason still has the ability to continue playing if he chooses to do so. He expressed appreciation for the recognition Jason has received in recent weeks but emphasized that Jason’s football career is not over yet.

During an episode of his podcast “New Heights,” Jason Kelce revealed that he intentionally did not make a retirement announcement after the Eagles’ loss. He explained that the emotional intensity of the moment made it difficult to make a definitive decision. Jason also mentioned that he plans to support his brother, who is still competing in the playoffs.

Jason, who has played his entire 13-year career with the Eagles, acknowledged that he has thought about how he would announce his retirement. He wants to ensure that the announcement is respectful and pays tribute to the people who have been influential in his career. Jason believes that making such an announcement immediately after a game would not be appropriate.

Despite his disappointment during the game against the Buccaneers, Jason Kelce remains focused on the future. He emphasized that he is not trying to prolong the decision-making process but wants to handle it in a way that respects those who have been a part of his journey.

Jason Kelce’s visible frustration on the sideline during the Eagles’ loss has sparked speculation about his retirement. However, Travis Kelce’s comments provide reassurance that Jason still has more to give in his football career.

Kelce was visibly upset on the Eagles’ sideline Monday night in Tampa as the final seconds ticked away in Philadelphia’s disappointing 32-9 loss.
