Jason Kelce Amid Retirement Rumors: 'I Don't Know What's Going To Happen'

Amid retirement rumors, Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce is claiming that while he is unsure of the future, he does still want to be part of the organization.

As you know, the Eagles were eliminated from NFL playoffs in the first round, which prompted rumors surrounding Jason and the possibility of retirement to begin circulating the internet.

While Jason Kelce has yet to announce if he will retire after this NFL season or if he plans to play with the Eagles again, he did state that he is "looking forward to next year" as he wants to "prove people wrong, especially with some of the recent hires and Nick Sirianni."

"And there’s a lot of things up in the air for the Philadelphia Eagles. But I think that, as a player, you always look forward to going into battle with your guys," he told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Jason also made it clear that he wishes to remain part of the Eagles organization in years to come.

"I don’t know what’s going to happen for me, but I do know I still want to be involved in the organization and still want to be a part of it — regardless of what the decision is,” the Eagles center told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Adding, “Because I don’t want to ever feel like I’m on the outside looking in on these achievements and these accolades and these opportunities that largely represent entire cities and fan bases and organizations.”

Jason previously addressed the retirement rumors on his ‘New Heights’ podcast, telling listeners and his brother, Travis Kelce, “I just don’t think you’re in a position after a game like that to really, you know, make that decision. I just don’t. There’s too much emotion in the moment. There’s too much going down in the moment to really fully grasp that decision."

He added, "I’m not trying to be dramatic to continue to draw this thing out. I’m really not.”

Jason Kelce has been cheering on his brother and the Kansas City Chiefsthroughout the NFL playoffs. Last weekend, the team made it into Super Bowl LVIII after beating the Baltimore Ravens. They will face the San Francisco 49ers on February 11.

"[The Chiefs] are an easy team to root for," Jason told The Philadelphia Inquirer of his brother's team. "This is a team that has not been ... had their roses, and been the easiest road for them. They fought, they’ve overcome adversity, they’ve stayed together through all the nonsense."

He added, "When everybody doubted them when everybody said they don’t have the guys to get it done, they still find themselves going to the biggest game in the world for football.”

It is expected that Jason, his wife, Kylie, Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and the Kelce parents, Donna and Ed, all will be in attendance. The Super Bowl will take place on February 11.
