SHOCKING NEWS: Philadelphia Eagles coach wife just dies some hours ago
Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles is retiring from the NFL, according to sources.
According to various sources, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has informed his teammates that he would retire from the NFL.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo broke the news Tuesday morning, following the Eagles’ 32-9 playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kelce, who was obviously distraught after the loss, declined to talk with reporters following the game. CNN Sport has reached out to both the Eagles and Kelce’s agent for comment.
Kelce is a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro pick who is certain to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Kelce, 36, played his entire 13-season NFL career with the Eagles, winning Super Bowl LII in February 2018.
Last season, his team fell short in Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs and his younger brother Travis Kelce. It was the first time two siblings competed against each other in a Super Bowl.
After the Eagles’ playoff loss to the Bucs, Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts praised Kelce’s effect on the city of Philadelphia as a whole.
“He is a legend in the city. Hurts told reporters, “Really in the league.” “I don’t want to diminish what he’s accomplished and endured.
“He didn’t get where he is now easily. It’s been a long time coming for him, and every year while I’ve been here, the question has been, ‘Are you going to come back?’
“But he understands how much I adore and appreciate him. He understands how much I have gained from him. He will always hold a particular place in my heart.
