On Jan. 16, 2024, Jason Kelce announced his retirement after 13 successful seasons with 156 straight starts and 6 All-Pro Team selections. The Philadelphia Eagles star had previously informed his teammates that he intends to retire soon, which they kept to themselves out of respect for the center as he hadn’t announced it publicly yet (via Associated Press).
Jason Kelce has gone back and forth over the last few seasons with his decision to retire. After the Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he could be seen on the sidelines with tears in his eyes. He hugged his long-time coach, following it up by extending his hands to his father and wife, Kylie.
About Kelce, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni exclaimed, “He’s special, and I love him. He’s one of the most special guys I’ve been around. He’s always got a place here” (via ESPN). The American football center has played all 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, making the news of his retirement harder to swallow for his team.
With Jason Kelce’s announcement, fans are curious about what the future holds for him. Many also want to know more about his family. The star player is married to Kylie McDevitt Kelce and shares three daughters with her.
