Jason Kelce retirement rumors: Eagles All-Pro center hints at possible 2024 return after AFC Championship

PHILADELPHIA — Jason Kelce remains noncommittal regarding his future in the NFL, but could be leaning toward one final season. Speaking with The Philadelphia Inquirer after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship on Sunday, Kelce opened up about his future in the NFL. 

“As a Philadelphia Eagle, incredibly disappointing season, especially at the end of it,” Kelce said. “And I really, really look forward to next year.

“I think it’s, um, I don’t like to live in absolutes in general, so I guess it could be.”

Whatever Kelce decides to return for a 14th season with the Eagles or not, he’s not thinking about that at the moment. Brother Travis Kelce is going to Super Bowl LVIII with the Kansas City Chiefs, and there’s a good chance Jason will be sitting in a box with mother Donna and Taylor Swift — as he’s done this postseason.

Jason has even thought of attending the Pro…
