Jason Kelce is gearing up to tackle “Monday Night Football.”

A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed to TODAY.com that Kelce, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center will join “Monday Night Countdown,” the pregame show for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

ESPN declined to comment to TODAY.com. The Athletic was the first to report the news of Kelce’s joining “Monday Night Countdown.”

Kelce is no stranger to the broadcast game. He and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, are hosts of the successful “New Heights” podcast. Travis Kelce signed a two-year contract extension with the Chiefs on Monday.

Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce, hinted at his possible pivot in an appearance on NBC’s “TODAY” show.
