JASON KELCE, CENTER FOR THE EAGLES, IS QUITTING THE NFL?
Jason Kelce, a center for the Philadelphia Eagles, is he retiring from the NFL?
Following the Eagles’ 32-9 playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there has been conjecture over the athlete’s potential departure from the league in recent days.
“According to multiple reports, Kelce has informed his teammates he is retiring from the NFL,” stated CNN.
On a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce and his brother Travis resolved the disagreement.
“I simply don’t think you’re in a position to truly, you know, make that judgment following a game like that. I simply don’t,” he started. “Too much emotion is present right now. Too much is happening right now for me to really understand that choice. I’m not attempting to be theatrical in order to drag this out. Actually, I’m not.
He never declared his retirement, but he did provide clarification on remarks he made in the locker room following the Eagles’ elimination from the playoffs by the Buccaneers.
“I basically told the team, ‘I [believe] in every single one of you guys,'” Kelce recalled. “Enjoy every moment you have in this league.”
In addition, Kelce mentioned an incident with coach Jeff Stoutland that fueled speculation about his impending retirement.
Newsweek said that cameras saw Jason and Stoutland hugging and having a little conversation on the sidelines following the game.
“I became aware that this might be the final opportunity I have to spend time like that with him. Kelce said, “I just really want to make sure he knows how much I appreciate him.” Though I didn’t want to become upset, what can you do?
Kelce isn’t sure what he will do, but he does know that “it will be done in a way that will be definitive when it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future.” Regarding the people who have meant a great deal to me and the events that led to my professional path.
Even though he hasn’t officially retired from the NFL, one of his motivations might be to spend more time with his family.
Wyatt Elizabeth, 4, Elliotte Ray, 2, and Bennett Llewellyn, 10 months, are the three daughters that Kelce and his wife, Kylie McDevitt, have together.
He refers to his role as a female dad as the “biggest highlight” of his existence.
“I told myself before I had kids that I would treat my daughter the same way as a son if I ever had one. Kelce stated, “I don’t think you should treat kids any differently. “I decided not to indulge my kid and to treat her with tough love after having her. She is going to be difficult. And I realized right away that it wouldn’t work when she came out.
The football player stated at the start of this year that he wanted to spend less time on his phone in order to spend more time with his wife and girls.
“I detest how much I use my phone, so I would have no apps and throw it into a magma volcano.” I detest anything related to my phone. Kelce stated, “I can’t stand it; I’m addicted to it,” during a “New Heights” episode.
“I detest it when my child instructs me to put down my phone because it exposes my shortcomings as a parent. “Daddy, put down your phone. You have no idea how much that hurts your soul,” he continued.
