Jason Kelce was overcome with emotion as he appeared to confirm he is retiring from the NFL following the Eagles’ defeat by the Buccaneers.

Reports emerged on Tuesday that the legendary center was calling time on his career in the wake of Philadelphia’s 32-9 Wild Card defeat.

Kelce broke his silence on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Travis, saying: ‘I didn’t announce what I was doing on purpose – despite what’s been leaked to the media.’

‘But I think people can feel body language and stuff…’

The 36-year-old, who was drafted by the Eagles in 2011, continued: ‘I just don’t think you’re in a position, after a game like that, to really 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.

‘I’m not trying to be dramatic and continue to draw this thing out, I’m really not. It’s just something that I think – when it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future. it’ll be done in a way that’s definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals who mean a lot to me and what has led to the career I’ve had.

The Eagles center addressed his teammates following defeat by the Buccaneers on Monday

‘And I don’t think it would be respectful or even accurate to be able to do that right after a game like that. (I’m) frustrated, I guess, at everything that’s happening but in the future there’ll be something said.’

Kelce, a father-of-three, strongly considered retiring at the end of last season and filmed his struggle to make a decision, which later became a hit Amazon Prime documentary.

Eventually he chose to play on and signed a one-year contract with the Eagles for this season, but was due to become a free agent in March.

‘I did address the team and pretty much said the same thing I said to you: “I have belief in every single one of you guys. Cherish the moments you have in this league”,’ he said.

‘So, that’s kind of the way it went down and a lot of guys (said): “If that is your last game, I feel sorry for you.” I was like: “Don’t feel sorry for me motherf*****s, I had a f***ing…’

Kelce then became overcome with emotion. ‘Either way, I truly appreciated everyone in that room and I’d go to war with them any day of the week. Enjoy the time you’ve got but there was a lot of emotion in the room for sure.

‘So, I don’t know what the future holds for anybody in that building right now. We’re about to get into what happens down the stretch: we have exit interviews tomorrow…’

On Wednesday, to mark the end of the season, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is due to address the team. Meetings will follow, with players speaking to their position coaches, undergoing an ‘exit physical’ and returning their playbooks.

‘Some guys that know they’re not coming back will clean lockers out. You’ll see people start to pack some things up,’ Kelce explained.

‘I’m not trying to be dramatic and continue to draw this thing out, I’m really not,’ Kelce said

‘And it’ll be another probably emotional day. So we’ll see what unfolds.’

The center, a Super Bowl winner, six-time All-Pro and future Hall-of-Fame inductee, turned and hugged the offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland as the clock ticked towards zero in Tampa.

Jason, the older brother of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis, then had an emotional but brief reunion with his family on the field – his father, Ed, and wife Kylie were cheering him on from the front row of the stands.

He gave them both a wave as he made his way from the field and was filmed tearing up on his long and lonely walk back to the locker room.

BROOMALL, Pa. (CBS) — We already knew Jason Kelce was a man of the people, but it turns out he’s also a man of the McMuffin.

Kelce, the maybe-not-retired longtime Philadelphia Eagles center, is a regular at the McDonald’s in Broomall at West Chester Pike and Sproul Road and one of Danielle Bonham’s regulars.

Bonham works in the McDonald’s drive-thru and has served Kelce often. He knows her by name, and they’ve taken a few pictures together.

“We know each other on a first-name basis,” Bonham said.

On Wednesday, Kelce stopped by like he usually does and signed Bonham’s Kelly Green Kelce jersey. Then he got his order, two sausage egg and cheese McMuffins.

“They were like, ‘Danielle, Kelce is here!’ and I was like, ‘No way,’” Bonham said.

Kelce has signed autographs for Bonham before, including this picture of their first meeting that was printed out from Facebook.

What was Bonham’s reaction when she saw him in the drive-thru?

“For the first time, I cried, because that’s all I wanted for my birthday. I turned 40 in July,” Bonham said.

Since then, Bonham says she’s served Kelce six more times, including Wednesday.

“I told him, I said, ‘I finally got the jersey. Can you sign this for me?’ And he said, ‘Sure,’ and so he did. And that’s something I will cherish for the rest of my life,” she said.

Bonham said Kelce motivated her to keep going during one of the toughest moments of her life: a divorce.

“It almost was as bad as when I lost my mom in 2005, yes,” Bonham said. “And I’ve expressed that to Jason. The joy that he brings me, it’s like, it kind of fills the void.”

Bonham said Kelce has left an indelible mark on the city of Philadelphia.

“If this is his last rodeo with us, I wish him all the best, and if he’s got one more left in him, that’s even better,” Bonham

While she’s sad to hear he might be retiring, Bonham believes it’s not goodbye, just see you later.

Jason Kelce has revealed he could go and watch brother Travis in action for the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend.

The Eagles center, who is set to retire from football, and his Philadelphia teammates were eliminated from the playoffs on Monday night by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

 

It means Jason is now free of football for the rest of the season and has some spare time in his schedule, which he could use to go and cheer on his little brother.

Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to play in Buffalo on Sunday night in a highly-anticipated divisional round game against the Bills.

Speaking from the Eagles facility on Wednesday, Jason was asked what he’s got planned for the coming weeks.

Jason Kelce revealed he may go and watch brother Travis and the Chiefs in Buffalo on Sunday

A report emerged last week that claimed Taylor Swift has an ‘awkward’ relationship with Jason and his wife Kylie after she said she doesn’t like the spotlight

He replied: ‘I don’t know. That’s one of the beautiful things about the offseason, it’s unscheduled. Obviously, my brother is still in the playoffs.

‘I don’t get to watch him play very often so maybe I’ll get an opportunity to go watch one of those games this week.’

If Kelce does decide to go to the game, he will no doubt be joined by their supportive mom Donna and father Ed.

But he and wife Kylie, if she decides to attend as well, could face an awkward reunion with Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift.

That’s because in a bombshell report from Life and Style magazine last week, it was claimed Swift doesn’t have the warmest relationship with Jason and Kylie.

Jason and Kylie have apparently not made the singer feel too welcome and comments made to the media about their relationship have upset Swift.

In November, before Jason’s Eagles team played the Chiefs in Kansas City, Kylie gave an interview saying that the spotlight ‘is not particularly my cup of tea’ and that she prefers to watch games from the stands rather than the luxury suits from where Swift cheers the Chiefs.

Swift has met Kelce’s parents – mom Donna and father Ed – but so far, there have been no pictures of her meeting with Jason, who Travis is extremely close to, or Kylie.

Life and Style quoted a source as saying: ‘Taylor hasn’t had the best reception from Jason and his wife.’

Kylie’s quotes about the spotlight particularly irked Swift, with the source adding: ‘Taylor took that personally and since then it’s been very awkward.’

Jason has seen his profile spiral due to his closeness with Travis – the two host the massively successful New Heights podcast together – but the older Kelce brother is typically more reserved than Travis.

‘Taylor understands that it can be exhausting, but she can’t help that everything she does becomes front-page news,’ the source added to Life and Style.

Jason often quizzes Travis about his personal life on their podcast but has always appeared extremely supportive of his relationship with Swift.

And as far as Kylie is concerned, she publicly rejected suggestions her ‘spotlight’ comments were meant as criticism of Taylor.

In a follow-up TikTok post, Kylie criticized a headline suggesting she was being critical, saying: ‘Go watch that video. I said it’s not my cup of tea to have attention on me. I didn’t say that. That seems like a stretch to me. You’re reaching!’.

And soon after that, she used a Taylor Swift song on a TikTok video about her four-year-old daughter, Wyatt.

‘If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio…because there isn’t one,’ Kylie said, paying tribute to Swift in a heartfelt post about her child.

Swift was meant to be at the Eagles-Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium in November but was forced to move a tour date in Brazil to the date of the game, with her initial show postponed due to extreme heat.

She reportedly planned to bring her parents to the game to meet Donna and Ed, and it would have been a natural opportunity for her to have met Jason and Kylie as wel

On Thυrsday, Swift was pictυred stepping oυt of a black SUV jυst steps away froм the stυdio.

The Pennsylvania native was flanked by secυrity.

Swift is a freqυent visitor of Electric Lady Stυdios, where she’s prodυced and re-recorded her last several albυмs.

She’s had plenty of song inspiration since going pυblic with her and Kelce’s roмance in Septeмber.

There have been sυggestions that the hot coυple – whose roмance has becoмe a мajor talking point dυring the NFL season – coυld soon be engaged.

Bυt TMZ reported that an engageмent is not ‘in the near fυtυre’ despite claiмs that he coυld get down on bended knee this sυммer.

The oυtlet also claiмed there are, in fact, doυbts aмong soмe people ‘on the inside’ aboυt whether the relationship will go all the way.

It’s said certain people close to the coυple insist it reмains too early to tell whether they will ever мove beyond this ‘honeyмoon’ dating phase.

Bυt a soυrce close to Kelce told DailyMail.coм this week that the NFL star has reportedly been talking to friends and faмily aboυt how he can мake sυre that the diaмond sparkler he decides to present to the Love Story singer will be ‘υniqυe.’

Kelce is said to be toying with the idea of υsing soмe of the diaмonds froм his Sυper Bowl rings to craft the band, which coυld also featυre a мeaningfυl lyric.

‘He isn’t going to propose to her anytiмe soon, so no one shoυld get those hopes υp, bυt he has talked to faмily and friends aboυt what he coυld do that woυld be special for an engageмent ring,’ the insider said.

‘Travis’ career is a мajor focυs for the next several weeks. He has to get the job done. He wants another Sυper Bowl ring, bυt it is safe to say that there is rooм to think aboυt Taylor.

‘And when it coмes to Taylor, he loves her and sees a fυtυre with her and has thoυght aboυt what a ring for her woυld be like as well.’

The insider continυed: ‘He has thoυght of having a lyric or a qυote engraved on the band that is special to both of theм, and he has also floated υsing soмe of the diaмonds froм his Sυper Bowl rings on her band.

‘He wants to мake sυre it isn’t soмething cheesy, bυt мore υniqυe and soмething that is a part of hiм that he shares with her to show that forever мeans forever.’

It is not clear if the lyric is froм one of Taylor’s songs or a track that is personal to the coυple.

There were sυggestions that they coυld be engaged by the sυммer, less than a year after going pυblic with their relationship.

Bυt the soυrce stressed that fans shoυldn’t expect a proposal any tiмe soon, adding: ‘He isn’t popping the qυestion right now, bυt he has entertained what that мoмent woυld look and feel like.’

evealed he coυld go and watch brother Travis in action for the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend.

The Eagles center, who is set to retire froм football, and his Philadelphia teaммates were eliмinated froм the playoffs on Monday night by the Taмpa Bay Bυccaneers.

It мeans Jason is now free of football for the rest of the season and has soмe spare tiмe in his schedυle, which he coυld υse to go and cheer on his little brother.

Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs are schedυled to play in Bυffalo on Sυnday night in a highly-anticipated divisional roυnd gaмe against the Bills.

Speaking froм the Eagles facility on Wednesday, Jason was asked what he’s got planned for the coмing weeks.

‘I don’t get to watch hiм play very often so мaybe I’ll get an opportυnity to go watch one of those gaмes this week.’

If Kelce does decide to go to the gaмe, he will no doυbt be joined by their sυpportive мoм Donna and father Ed.

Bυt he and wife Kylie, if she decides to attend as well, coυld face an awkward reυnion with Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift.

That’s becaυse in a boмbshell report froм Life and Style мagazine last week, it was claiмed Swift doesn’t have the warмest relationship with Jason and Kylie.

Jason and Kylie have apparently not мade the singer feel too welcoмe and coммents мade to the мedia aboυt their relationship have υpset Swift.

In Noveмber, before Jason’s Eagles teaм played the Chiefs in Kansas City, Kylie gave an interview saying that the spotlight ‘is not particυlarly мy cυp of tea’ and that she prefers to watch gaмes froм the stands rather than the lυxυry sυits froм where Swift cheers the Chiefs.

Swift has мet Kelce’s parents – мoм Donna and father Ed – bυt so far, there have been no pictυres of her мeeting with Jason, who Travis is extreмely close to, or Kylie.

Life and Style qυoted a soυrce as saying: ‘Taylor hasn’t had the best reception froм Jason and his wife.’

Kylie’s qυotes aboυt the spotlight particυlarly irked Swift, with the soυrce adding: ‘Taylor took that personally and since then it’s been very awkward.’

The Kelce brothers have come a long way.

Jason and Travis grew up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and went on to attend, and room together at, the University of Cincinnati.

They both eventually made it to the NFL after Jason was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, while Travis joined the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013.

Both brothers went on to win the Super Bowl for their respective teams (Travis doing so twice) across their Hall of Fame careers.

However, had it not been for Jason’s intervention during Travis’ wayward college years, the younger Kelce may never have made it to the pros.

As a result, the Chiefs tight end owes a lot to his older sibling.

As a small token of his appreciation, Travis honours Jason every time he steps out onto the field by wearing No.87 on his jersey.

Speaking ahead of last year’s Super Bowl – which saw the Chiefs beat the Eagles – Travis revealed his number 87 jersey number is a tribute to his brother.

“If there is a Kelce legacy, two brothers making it to the NFL, it all started in 1987 because this big guy [Jason] was born in 1987,” Trav said.

“I’m forever in debt to this guy for putting his name, our name, putting his honour on the line to get me another chance. When I say I owe it all to him, I do.”

“I love you. You’re the only reason why I wear the number 87 anyway,” he said as he handed his brother a jersey.

He added: “I never told you that, man. You started the legacy.”

On the other hand, Jason’s number 62 jersey number has significantly less sentimentality attached to it.

The Eagles center said in an interview, “The significance of No 62 is that when I made it to the National Football League (NFL) this is the number that was given to me and I am honoured to wear it. Growing up I kind of liked the No. 13 for the sports that I played,

“But I had a football coach in middle school that once said to me, ‘The player makes the number, not the other way around,’

“Since then, I’ve taken the number that was handed to me. I have an identity with 62 and I’m going to have that forever.”

The Kelces made NFL history last season by becoming the first siblings to face off in the Super Bowl – which became known as the ‘Kelce Bowl’ due to their involvement.

Travis and Patrick Mahomes got the better of Jason and the Eagles, winning 38-35 to capture their second Vince Lombardi Trophy together.

This season has been a struggle for the Eagles, who crashed out of the playoffs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their Wild Card matchup on Monday night.

Following the 32-9 defeat, Jason reportedly told teammates in the locker room that he had decided to retire, calling him on a glistening 13-year NFL career.

Jason finishes as a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and six-time first-team All-Pro selection, while being widely regarded as one of the greatest centers of all time.

The NFL is in mourning after widespread reports that Jason Kelce is intending to retire.

The Philadelphia center has reportedly decided to call time on his Hall of Fame career after a humiliating 32-9 Wild Card playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

The 36-year-old looked emotional and politely declined to speak to reporters after the game.

He is thought to have told teammates of his decision to end his 13-year career as an Eagle.

Jason and his younger sibling Travis Kelce have become cult figures in the league for their heartwarming brotherly antics and larger-than-life personalities.

Their popular ‘New Heights’ podcast has become essential listening for NFL fans across the globe.

Jason and Travis met for the first time since that game in November and the pair enjoyed a heartwarming exchange.

The brothers embraced at midfield after the much-hyped game, taking time to catch up among a large collection of photographers and sharing a few quick inside jokes.

It was Jason’s first NFL win over his younger brother and the Chiefs star tight end congratulated him on the victory in what is set be the final time they will meet as opponents.

“All right, big guy,” Travis said. “Hell of a win.”

“That was a hell of a late birthday present right there,” joked Travis before telling Jason, who turned 36 at the start of November: “Love you, big guy.”

The adorable exchange is now likely to be the final on-field interaction between the two future Hall of Famers.

News of Kelce’s impending retirement sparked a wave of tributes from players and fans across the NFL.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had nothing but praise for Jason when speaking about potentially losing his center said: “I love him.”

Sirianni added: “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.”

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts also commended his teammate’s lasting impact after the game, saying: “He’s a legend in the city – really in the league.

“I don’t want to do a disservice to him and the things he’s been able to do and overcome. His journey to where he is now didn’t come easy.”

Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie will be in Buffalo on Sunday afternoon to cheer Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs on against the Bills.

It paves the way for the first meeting between Jason and Kylie and Travis’s girlfriend Taylor Swift, who is expected to be at Highmark Stadium.

 

Jason had hinted on a couple occasions this week that he was considering making the trip to cheer his younger brother on. And according to People, he now definitely will be there.

A meeting with Swift comes amid reports last week that the singer has an awkward relationship with Jason and Kylie – who has previously said she prefers to watch games from the stands rather than suites, where Swift has always been to cheer Travis on.

That could change on Sunday though – the couple might want to join Taylor in a booth given temperatures are expected to be between 20 and 25 degrees.

Jason joked on the bonus episode of the New Heights podcast he hosts with Travis that he would go to Buffalo just to jump through a table – tipping his hat to the bizarre trend among hardcore Bills fans tailgating at games.

Jason, of course, has a free weekend after the Eagles went out of the playoffs at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday. It has plunged Jason’s long-term football future into doubt, with reports on Tuesday morning emerging that he told the Eagles locker room that he is retiring.

But since then, the 36-year-old has stayed coy over what the future holds and Travis even suggested on Friday that his big brother could play on.

No timeline has been given as to when Kelce expects to announce his football future.

The Kelce brothers have an extremely close relationship and Travis suggested Jason might keep playing when he spoke at a Chiefs press conference ahead of the Bills game.

‘It came out that he retired and he didn’t really say any of that,’ Travis Kelce said Friday. ‘The end of that game, I think everyone kind of felt for him knowing that he has been thinking about it a lot over the past couple years.’

‘The (Amazon) documentary shows that. You don’t need to go around and ask anybody,’ Travis continued. ‘It’s been cool to see everybody appreciate who he’s been over the years this past week.’

‘I think the big guys still got some football left if he wants it,’ Kelce concluded.

The elder Kelce has stayed in the public eye since Philadelphia’s 32-9 loss to Tampa Bay.

He was not made available to the media after the game, but did speak with reporters on Wednesday, where he did not state his future intentions one way or another.

Kelce also stopped by his local Havertown, Pennsylvania McDonald’s to give a signed jersey to his favorite server.

Swift entering the Kelce family’s orbit has skyrocketed Jason and Travis’ popularity well beyond the gridiron, as both were already first-ballot future Hall of Famers before being mentioned in the same sentence as the 12-time Grammy winner.

Awkwardness might be in the air for Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce – following reports of a rift between the pop star and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes.

 

Since dating Kelce, Swift has appeared to strike up a tight friendship with former women’s soccer player Brittany, who tied the knot to quarterback Patrick last year, but now there are rumours that Bad Blood is brewing. It’s been claimed Brittany released information about her hangouts with Taylor, which left the singer far from impressed.

During an instalment of 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand radio show, a caller named Jake dialled in and said he had the inside scoop that Swift would be attending the Chiefs’ game against the New England Patriots at the Gillette Stadium, in Massachusetts, on Sunday. “Let’s break some news. She’s coming Sunday. Done deal,” Jake claimed, before adding that he’d heard all was not well in the Swift/Mahomes camp: “One of the sources I have is saying she doesn’t want to be with Brittany Mahomes. I don’t know why.”

Celebrity gossip platform Deuxmoi shared the clip on their Instagram Story with the caption: “Local Boston sports talk radio also confirmed your Brittany Mahomes and t swift distancing.” They also included a screengrab of a message from one follower who in response to the question “What are you guys talking about this week?” – posed on December 12 – replied: “Rumour is Brittany Mahomes went to tabloids after hangouts with Tay – Tay is cooling it now.” At the time, Deuxmoi said: “We have not heard that.”

If true, it could make things rather tricky for close friends and colleagues Travis and Patrick. There didn’t seem to be a hint of drama, mind, when Swift enjoyed a pre-birthday celebration with her beau – who couldn’t make her actual party, to mark turning 34, due to footballing commitments – alongside Brittany, 28, and her hubby, where they partied until the early hours at a bar in Kansas City.

Brittany seemed to have scored a position in Swift’s ‘squad’ of friends, which includes Selena Gomez, Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid, after they were pictured grabbing dinner together in September. They’ve also been snapped hanging out at games and are even said to have a secret handshake.
