Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce has yet to officially retire. Until he makes an official announcement, the All-Pro center’s next move will remain under the microscope.
Kelce has been in Las Vegas this week to support his brother Travis at Super Bowl LVIII.
According to a report from Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, the Eagles veteran met with both ESPN and FOX brass to discuss the possibility of trying his hand at a broadcasting career. The talks are reportedly considered “preliminary” conversations not limited to just those two networks.
Kelce hosts the wildly successful “New Heights” podcast with Travis. The 36-year-old has grown comfortable behind the mic and has never exactly been bashful in front of the public eye.
The older Kelce brother projects to be a standout announcer. He clearly has the on-field experience and intelligence to serve as an analyst, while also having an everyman vibe that could help him connect to fans at home.
Kelce reportedly told his Eagles teammates that he planned to retire following their team’s 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round. However, Kelce still has not made an official statement announcing his retirement. His brother Travis doesn’t even think Jason is ready to hang up his cleats for good.
