The Eagles reportedly offered Jason Kelce $9million in an attempt to bring him back for 2024 – with the center ultimately announcing his retirement on Monday.Kelce – who spent his entire 13-year career in Philly – will go down as a franchise legend and is a surefire Hall of Famer.And according to the US Sun, the Eagles were ‘desperate’ to retain the 36-year-old for another season

 

 

The US Sun said the Eagles will retire Kelce’s No. 62 jersey after he decided to hang his cleats up.He was paid $14.25million last season by Philly – the most of any center in the league.And while the Eagles apparently tried hard to keep Kelce, this was the end of the road for him and the franchise.’He knows that he wasn’t getting younger, and seeing his brother winning another Super Bowl had him rethink maybe going back to play another season, but he took the best decision as he feels that he needed to stop his career,’ a source told the US Sun

 

He loves Philly, the franchise, but he also wants to spend more time with his family and start another career in his life, which he knows is going to be very exciting.’The Ohio native – who hosts the popular ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother, Travis – could now pursue a broadcasting career.He met with execs from ESPN and Fox during Super Bowl week, according to Front Office Sports.Either way, his next chapter was seemingly far from his mind on Monday as he announced his retirement in front of his wife, Kylie, parents Donna and Ed, and brother, Travis
