Philadelphia Eagles longtime center Jason Kelce is now co-owner of a light beer company, Garage Beer.
However, that's not the only company he wants to invest in.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is considering the sale of a minority stake in the franchise, according to Bloomberg and Kelce wants to buy in.
"I'll back out of the TV deal right now if you tell me I can own the Philadelphia Eagles," Kelce said on the New Heights podcast. … "[Getting] to be an owner? That's like another level."
Sure, Kelce may have been joking but that doesn't mean he didn't seriously ponder becoming an owner of the team he played 13 seasons with for a second, before realizing how much it would cost.
"I don't know if it matters how much a minority stake it is, I don't think we can afford it," Kelce said.
If Lurie finds a suitor, the Eagles will be valued at more than $7.5 billion in any deal, per Bloomberg, which is certainly a lot more than the $194 million Lurie initially bought the Eagles for in 1994.
But just like Lurie did back then, Kelce could always borrow the money to purchase a minority stake.
However, it might not be the best move for Kelce since Lurie would remain in full control of the team, which means the minority owner has zero say when it comes to drafting players and hiring or firing coaches.
Jason agreed to a multi-year deal with ESPN back in May, which is more up his alley since he doesn't have to pay to play in order to give his take on any decision all 32 NFL teams make.
