It’s a Kelce world and we’re all just living in it.
The NFL siblings are just about the most popular duo in sports having dominated on and off the field with their larger than life personalities and Hall of Fame-worthy careers.

Former Eagles star Jason recently announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 glorious years, begging the question ‘what comes next?’
According to The Athletic, Kelce’s next job could involve a deal with one of the major television networks – and it may even include Travis and their immensely popular ‘New Heights’ podcast.
Per the report, NBC, CBS and ESPN are all interested in acquiring Jason’s talents for a major television role, with ESPN in particular zeroing in on the ex offensive lineman.
Interestingly, Amazon Prime Video are also a contender to land the elder Kelce’s services, with one potential deal on the table involving Travis and their podcast.
“Amazon Prime Video could only offer a contributor spot on ‘Thursday Night Football,’” it’s claimed.
“But, if the Kelces brought their podcast under the Amazon umbrella, it could be part of a bigger deal.”
It is stated that Kelce already has a relationship with Amazon after his hit documentary, ‘Kelce’, with wife Kylie, landed on the platform last year.

However, Jason and Travis are yet to suggest they plan on taking their podcast anywhere anytime soon, with pretty much anything still a possibility.
The Kelces launched their award-winning podcast in September 2022, just months before they met in Super Bowl LVII – dubbed the ‘Kelce Bowl’ – where Travis’ Chiefs beat Jason’s Eagles, 38-35.

The pod covers a range of topics, mostly from the NFL, as well as pop culture and the brothers’ own personal lives.
They’ve also had a ton of special guests on including Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes and, more recently, new Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
‘New Heights’ has steadily risen in popularity and in January the brothers announced the show had accumulated more than 2 million YouTube subscribers, a total that has since climbed to more than 2.4 million.
The show’s success was recognised at the recent iHeartMedia’s 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards where ‘New Heights’ took home the prize of podcast of the year.
“Listen, this is an incredible honor, especially for two jabronis like us, to receive an award like this is beyond humbling and we would be remiss if we didn’t immediately thank all of the 92 percenters [their fanbase] out there — aka Swifties — who voted for us to win this award,” Jason said.
“Thank you guys for everything. We truly do have the best fanbase in the entire world,” Travis said.
They followed that award up by winning the Best Sports Podcast award from The Podcast Academy.
There’s no denying Jason is massively in-demand now that he’s officially hung up his Eagles jersey.
The 36-year-old certainly isn’t short of options for his next career move, with one legend from another sport even willing to train him into its next ‘superstar’.
