Jason Kelce is retiring from football. Thanks, Taylor Swift!

All-Pro Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is reportedly set to retire.

According to Tuesday morning reports from both ESPN and the NFL Network, Kelce informed his teammates in the minutes after the Eagles' 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that he would be retiring from football.

Kelce, 36, was visibly emotional as the final moments of the game clock ticked off his last game. He shared a hug with offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland as the game came to an end.

He then shared a moment with his family in the stands as he walked off the field at Raymond James Stadium.

As he walked down the tunnel to the Eagles locker room, the emotion of the moment was still apparent on his face.

Kelce declined to speak with media and made no announcement in the emotional aftermath of the game. But with the prospect of his 37-year-old season approaching, he's apparently decided to call it quits.

Kelce played 13 seasons in the NFL, all of them with the Eagles. He joined a team that finished 8-8 in his 2011 rookie year and made the playoffs in just one of his first six seasons. Then in 2017, he anchored a historic offensive line for a team that won the franchise's first and only Super Bowl.

The Eagles made the playoffs in six of Kelce's final seven seasons, including a return trip to the Super Bowl following the 2022 season. He's synonymous with that run that's easily the most successful in franchise history. In the process, he became one of the NFL's most recognizable faces alongside his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Kelce piled up individual honors on top of his team success with the Eagles. He retires having been named to the Pro Bowl seven times. He was named first-team All-Pro six times. He was Philadelphia's NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee in 2021.

Kelce will retire near the top of his game at 36 years old while earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in his final season. Canton is surely next.

Taylor Swift is just bad luck.

The minute she started dating his brother and appearing in the stands, I knew it would be a bad thing.

She's evil. Like a horrible bad luck charm.

How is Taylor Swift responsible for a 36-year old NFL player retiring? The average retirement age for NFL players is 27. He would have most likely retired regardless of who his brother was dating.

You anti-Swifites are as unhinged in your thinking as Iowa Republican caucus voters.

WTF does she have to do with this?

by Anonymousreply 3January 16, 2024 5:11 PM

She turned the football game into a sideshow, by dating his brother.

Taylor Swift took the focus off the game, and turned it on to herself.

As usual.

He probably got sick of it, and said "Fuck this. I'm out."

I would do the same.

I love that she must have magical powers that can control how sports broadcasts are produced, what the media incessantly talks about, and the destinies of players in the biggest and most powerful sports league in the country. She's obviously placed a spell on all of these people and now controls their every action. Don't blame them. Blame her witchcraft!

How is Taylor Swift bad luck? The Chiefs are doing quite well, thank you very much. Geez the hate is pretty funny actually. You can’t get more white bread than her.

Kelce is incredibly old for a football player. If you saw his documentary, you can see the physical toll it’s taken.

R9, we’re not defending Taylor Swift, we’re laughing about how seriously she’s hated. Damn you’d think she was Putin’s daughter.

School is in session, r17. There will be a quiz so pay attention. TS is dating Travis Kelce. He plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. JASON Kelce is his older brother and is married to a Philly girl. They have 3 adorable daughters. The entire family, including Mama Kelce, is beloved by the city of Philadelphia. Jason is the Philadelphia Eagle’s Center. He’s the guy who hikes the ball. One of the best, if not THE best, to ever play that position. He is the main reason that the Tush Push is so successful. He will be voted into the NFL Hall of Fame on the first vote. He is the heart and soul of that team. A sentimental bear of a man with a heart of gold. A Mensch. A Legend. His family will never go hungry in Philadelphia. He will be sorely missed by anyone who loves football and recognizes greatness. No matter what team they root for.

R26 I will try and explain in plain English, but I don’t know if you’ll get it. I recommend you Google before you comment, it will help you from being confused, which you def are.

Travis Kelce plays for the Chiefs and is daring Taylor Swift. He’s handsome for sure.

Jason Kelce plays for the Eagles, is an all around great guy and probably the best center ever in the NFL. He’s Travis’s BROTHER.

JASON Kelce was named one of the sexiest men alive. He is married with three kids.

Got it?

I didn’t know Jason Kelce was so famous. News of his potential retirement has popped up on all sorts of websites which I didn’t think would care. And the commenters, mostly non-Eagles fans, all have nothing but praise for him. Hats off to him. Not enough linemen get the cred and respect that he does.

I can’t imagine the toll it takes to be an NFL player, let alone a lineman. And for him to be playing into his mid-30s is unreal. The Philadelphia Inquirer published a quote from him as to how he used to be recovered by Wednesday after a game, but not this year. I’m sure he doesn’t want to be as physically damaged as his predecessors (although it may be too late).

Thank you R39 finally someone said it! I thought I was going mad reading the comments in here. Is Travis sexy? Absolutely yes, Jason on the other hand... absolutely not! This burly, hirsute sack of shit is no sex symbol in any way. I also don't give a shit about his football career and neither would anyone else on DL if his brother wasn't the latest beard for Taylor Swift.

You obviously don’t know football KC or Philly, you dd not read the comments made before you, you don’t know much about the Kelce , and you are clueless as to who is dating Taylor Swift.

Otherwise you made some good points. Especially the point about others being naive.

[quote] Patrick Mahomes’ Dad Doesn’t Want To Sit With Taylor Swift At Chiefs Game

Pat Mahomes, the father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, may have just stirred up some drama after he was asked about seating arrangements for the upcoming NFL playoff game.

As you know, Taylor Swift has been in attendance for many Kansas City Chiefs games to root for her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the rest of the team. She has been spotted sitting with Travis's mom, Donna Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes's wife, Brittany Mahomes, in past games.

Last week, in the Chiefs win over the Buffalo Bills, Taylor sat with Travis's brother, Jason Kelce, and Jason's wife, Kylie. While she is expected to attend the upcoming Chiefs game against the Baltimore Ravens, it seems like she will not be sitting with Patrick Mahomes's dad as he is requesting a different VIP box than the pop icon.

The father of Patrick Mahomes appeared on WFAN Sports Radio’s “Evan & Tiki” show, where he was asked if he would be sitting with the 'Red' singer during the AFC Championship game, to which he jokingly replied, "I hope not.”

He continued: “No, I don’t think so. Travis [Kelce] normally has his own thing and Patrick [Mahomes] has his own deal too. … I imagine if Taylor [Swift] wants her own suite, she’s got enough money to get whichever one she wants.”

This is likely because Pat Mahomes enjoys watching the game in a more quiet environment rather than in a "party box," and if the last game was any indication of what it may be like to watch a game with Jason, Brittany, and Taylor, it is understandable as to why Pat doesn't want to sit near them.

As you know, Jason Kelce jumped out of the VIP box last weekend, shirtless and holding a beer. He was seen screaming and yelling as Travis just scored a touchdown. Pat, who was sitting not too far from Jason and Taylor's suite, watched the entire stunt.

“I was actually two booths down. But as soon as [Jason] started doing that, I started looking down, and I saw him,” he said. “It just so happens that at one point, we were both having a beer in the bathroom. I’ve known him for quite some time because Travis is like another son to me.”

He added, “I’ve been around [Jason] a lot, and I’ve been in the booth with Taylor before, and she was very nice and genuine. I went over there and hung out with them a little bit after the game, after we won, for a little bit. Those are some fun guys — if you think Jason is wild, you ought to see Travis!”

The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the AFC Championship game.
