Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce on Wednesday addressed reports that he announced his retirement after Monday's season-ending loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, saying on his podcast that "in the future there will be something said."
Kelce, considered one of the best centers in the NFL, reportedly told his teammates he was retiring in the locker room after the Eagles' 32-9 wild-card playoff loss to the Bucs, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on X.
The Associated Press and NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo also reported the news.
Speaking on his "New Heights" podcast hosted with younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the future Pro Football Hall of Famer said he doesn't have retirement plans set in stone.
"I don’t know what next year is going to look like with the team. Coaches, players...," Kelce said. "I just want to make sure everybody knows how much I love and respect and appreciate the effort and energy they put into the year. I know the outcome, Philadelphia, was not acceptable, but I love each and every person in that room."
