Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce may be throwing in the towel alongside his brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce this offseason.
According to NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, the two could embark on a media journey, similar to ESPN's ManningCast which stars the Manning brothers.
"I think he's looking at future plans," Tafoya said on CBS Sports Radio. "I could totally see those two doing a Payton and Eli Manning sort of gig maybe on Peacock."
The two have already tapped into the media world with their weekly "New Heights" podcast which has gained over 1M followers.
Additionally, Jason was a huge hit when he took over Amazon Prime's Thursday Night Football broadcast in Week 10 of the 2023 regular season.
Will the Kelce Brothers Retire?
Whether or not the Kelce brothers retire after the 2023 season comes to an end remains to be seen.
Jason shut down the rumors and reports about his "official" retirement earlier this week, though he did hint that an announcement would be made in the near future.
"I didn't announce what I was doing on purpose despite I guess what's been leaked to the media," an emotional Kelce said on the latest "New Heights" episode … "I just don't think you're in a position after a game like that to really make that decision. I just don't. There's too much emotion in the moment, there's too much going down in the moment, to really fully grasp that decision. I'm not trying to be dramatic and continue to draw this thing out, I'm really not.
"It's just something that I think when it's time to officially announce what's happening in the future, it'll be done in a way that's definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me."
Travis also addressed retirement talk while he was speaking to the media last week.
"Do you guys think about retirement?" Kelce asked reporters in the room. "Am I the only one in this boat, or is anybody else in this thing? Whoever's not thinking about stuff down the road, I blame you. I have no reason to stop playing football, man. I love it. We still have success. Come in with the right mindset, and I just love the challenge it gives me every single day to try and be at my best. Like I said, I have no desire to stop anytime soon."
Neither seems to be too set on hanging up their cleats just yet, but if they do decide to make things official, it's safe to say that the Manning brothers will have some tough competition.
