Jason (36) was visibly emotional at the end of Philadelphia’s 32-9 wild-card postseason match defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 6th time All-Pro and future Hall of Famer has considered retiring in the past, but this time, it will happen.
Kelce didn’t talk with the media after the match, sharing: “No guys, not today.” He competed in the current campaign on a 1-year deal and will become a free agent in March.
A 6th round draft selection in 2011, Jason has spent his entire 13 seasons career with Philadelphia. He has been 1 of the crucial players for a franchise that has made 6 playoff appearances and played in 2 Super Bowls in the last 7 years.
One of the greatest players and men our game has ever seen:
– 13 seasons with the @Eagles
– Super Bowl LII Champion
– 7x Pro Bowls
– 6x First-team All-ProCongrats on an incredible career, @JasonKelce. 👏 pic.twitter.com/4WELORWlsV
