On Monday, Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce officially announced his retirement after a legendary career that spanned over a decade.
Kelce held a press conference on Monday to announce he was calling it quits after a 13-year career. The 36-year-old earned seven Pro Bowl and six First-team All-Pro selections, leading Philadelphia to the franchise’s first Super Bowl championship in the 2017 season.
Soon after Kelce retired, Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported that Kelce will be highly sought-after as an NFL analyst if he decides to go that route in his post-playing career. According to Marchand, ESPN, CBS and NBC are “the likeliest landing spots” for Kelce, with the latter two being “viewed as the favorites” for the future Canton member:
“If Jason Kelce wants to be on an NFL studio show, he will have options with NBC, CBS and ESPN the likeliest landing spots, officials involved with discussions told The Athletic…
CBS has a wide-open desk after the Super Bowl and has interest in Kelce. While host James Brown is signed for two more years and newcomer J.J. Watt is due back, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason and Phil Simms are all free agents. This is why Kelce and CBS have already held talks.
While NBC and CBS are viewed as the favorites, ESPN is always a stalking horse and has interest. It has a variety of shows from its marquees on Sunday and Monday to its daily NFL programs.”
Kelce and his younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, co-host the “New Heights” podcast that draws millions of listeners each month. The podcast’s YouTube channel has more than two million subscribers.
There is no shortage of recently-retired NFL legends who quickly found success as analysts or commentators. This includes Tony Romo (CBS), J.J. Watt (CBS) and Greg Olsen (FOX), with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady set to join FOX as an analyst in 2024.
Kelce’s big name, popularity and outgoing personality would make him the perfect NFL analyst for any network. If he decides to make the move to the broadcast booth, Kelce can expect immense competition for his services.
