Jason Kelce provides unlikely scenario in which he would consider return to NFL

Don't expect any type of comeback from Jason Kelce.

The Philadelphia Eagles legend retired earlier this year after 13 seasons as the team's center, and he built a Hall of Fame resume in the City of Brotherly Love.

Kelce had plenty left in the tank. He earned his third-straight All-Pro nod, his sixth in seven years, and played in each game for a ninth consecutive season.

His injuries and long-term health concerns were well documented in an Amazon Prime Video feature film during the 2022 season, yet he decided to play one more year.

He finally called it quits, but he's been a constant presence at the team's training site throughout the offseason.

Despite his skill remaining top-notch, no one should expect a return.

"My days of playing are just done, and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore," he recently told The Associated Press.

He's also lost 20 pounds in the offseason and wants to lose another 15 to get down to 260.

"They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds," he joked.

He played in 193 games in his NFL career, the second most in team history, and ended his career by making 156 consecutive starts, a franchise record.

Kelce won the 2018 Super Bowl with the Birds, four years before being defeated by his brother, Travis, and the Kansas City Chiefs, in the big game.

Since retiring, he has signed on to be an analyst for "Monday Night Football" on ESPN, while he and his brother continue to search for lucrative deals for their "New Heights" podcast.

Aaron Rodgers provides stance on teammate Haason Reddick's trade request: 'We don't judge him'

Despite not yet playing a snap for the New York Jets and already requesting a trade, Haason Reddick's teammates have his back.

The edge rusher asked the Jets to trade him on Monday, just months after acquiring him from the Philadelphia Eagles, as the two sides have been unable to agree on a new contract throughout the offseason.

Reddick's Week 1 status is now officially in question, and there's not much winning for either side, as Gang Green's general Joe Douglas released a vehement statement saying the team wouldn't trade him.

Reddick will turn 30 on Sept. 22, which isn't exactly the golden age for getting a new deal – but quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he can't blame Reddick for fighting for what he wants.

"Obviously we'd love for him to be here, but we don't judge him for trying to do what's best for him," he told reporters at training camp on Tuesday.

But, Rodgers did let his teammate know through the grapevine what he feels Reddick should do.

"I think what's best for him is to be a Jet, because this is going to be a fun ride."

AARON RODGERS MET WITH ESTRANGED FATHER FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2014 LAST YEAR, BOOK SAYS

The Jets sent a conditional 2026 third-round draft pick to the Eagles in exchange for Reddick. Philadelphia's compensation could become a second-round pick if Reddick reaches certain playing time thresholds and records at least 10 sacks.

The Jets let edge rusher Bryce Huff walk in free agency, ironically to the Birds, before acquiring Reddick. Reddick finished the 2023 season with 11 sacks in 17 games, while Huff had a team-leading 10 sacks for New York last year.

Reddick's 50.5 sacks over the last four seasons are the fourth most in the NFL.

It was expected when Reddick got to the tri-state area that the two sides would eventually work something out, but apparently, nothing has progressed with less than four weeks until the season begins.
