It appears that Jason Kelce’s days in the NFL may be numbered, as suggested by his Philadelphia Eagles teammate, Jordan Mailata. Mailata, a massive offensive lineman with a heavenly voice, recently made an appearance on NBC Sports Philadelphia and expressed his belief that Kelce will not be returning for the 2024-25 season. Despite reports that Kelce had informed the team of his retirement following their loss to the Buccaneers, the Eagles center seemed to downplay these rumors. Since Kelce’s last game on January 15, where they were defeated by the Buccaneers in the playoffs, speculation about his potential retirement has been going back and forth like a seesaw, reminiscent of Brett Favre’s indecisiveness during his playing days. Mailata’s statement carries weight due to his close relationship with Kelce, including their collaboration on a Christmas album, which holds significant meaning. Kelce’s emotional departure from the field after the loss to the Bucs suggested that he may have played his final game in an Eagles uniform, but after 13 seasons, he has not completely shut the door on a return. However, Mailata seems skeptical, pointing out Kelce’s carefree lifestyle of going shirtless during games and gambling in casinos, indicating that he is having too much fun to consider coming back. Mailata expressed his admiration for Kelce and the impact he has had on his life during their time together in the NFL. The question remains: Will Jason Kelce make a comeback for one more season?
