Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has not to clarify his plans for the 2024 season, but one of his colleagues believes he has played his final NFL snap.
Jordan Mailata, an Eagles offensive tackle, believes Kelce is retiring and cites his behavior since the season finished as evidence.
“There’s no shot,” Mailata told NBC Sports Philadelphia before the Super Bowl. “You’re telling me he’s going shirtless at the games, gambling in the casinos, and he’s coming back? No way. He’s having so much fun. “He is out there living his life.”
“There’s no shot! You’re telling me, he’s going shirt off at the game, gambling in the casinos, he’s coming back? No way. He’s having too much fun. I’m going to miss him for sure”

Kelce has been a big role in the playoffs, having attended brother Travis’ games. Initial reports suggested that he had already decided to retire following the Eagles’ playoff loss, but he denied this and stated that he intends to take his time making a decision. Still, the majority of his action suggests he will not return in 2024.
‘Kelce could yet return, but if not, he will go down as one of the most decorated offensive lineman in Eagles history and a member of a Super Bowl-winning squad.
