Jason Kelce is no longer playing in the NFL. In his current shape, he literally could not return to the Philadelphia Eagles even if he wanted to. The prospective Hall of Famer is far too thin! In March, Kelce formally hung up his cleats following 13 seasons with the Eagles. With the exception of a trip to Paris for the Olympics, Philadelphia granted him unlimited access to the team upon his retirement, and he has spent practically every day of training camp there.
He may as well be an assistant coach at this point. He just won’t go home, man. I’m kidding. It’s great to have him around. He’s obviously loved around this building by every single person. He’s always welcome out here with Kylie and his kids.
All of the time spent around his former teammates led to speculation about a possible return. Maybe Kelce wants to get back on the field. Maybe he has one more season in him.
After playing at a weight of 295 pounds last season, Kelce is slimmed down to 275. He already dropped 20 pounds and hopes to cut 15 more, to get down to his target goal of 260. The 36-year-old was already considered “undersized” at his position. Kelce could not play any lighter.
Cam Jurgens is going to take his spot. The 24-year-old was drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft and spent the last two years learning from one of the greatest to ever do it. In fact, Jason Kelce helped the Eagles in drafting his replacement and handpicked Jurgens as his successor.
