Jason Kelce will return to the Philadelphia Eagles next season after ‘much thought’ over his future as he warns: ‘I ain’t f***ing done yet!’
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has chosen to play another NFL season, just a month after he and his brother, Travis, were the first pair of siblings to play each other in a Super Bowl, ever, following reports of potential retirement.
‘I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season,’ the 35-year-old tweeted on Monday. ‘After talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family, I have decided to return for another year. Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t f***ing done yet!’
Last season, Kelce started 17 games during the Eagles’ route to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, recovering one fumble and going for -8 yards. The sixth-round pick of the 2011 draft has played his entire career in Philadelphia and has started every game for the team since the start of the 2015 season.
He is 13 games short from matching David Akers for the most games in Eagles history, although defensive end Brandon Graham could beat him to the franchise record as he’s played two more games than Kelce and has resigned for next season.
Technically a free agent at the moment, Kelce can’t officially re-join the Eagles until Wednesday when the new league year starts.
