In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KelcJa00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">13-year career<\/a>, he played in 193 games, made seven Pro Bowls, was a six-time All-Pro, and was an anchor for the team&#8217;s first-ever Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl LII.<\/p>\n<p>After the 2023 season, Kelce decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/07\/04\/how-eagles-center-jason-kelces-retirement-impacts-the-o-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">hang up the cleats<\/a> on an illustrious career. However, that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean he&#8217;s done contributing to the team. According to multiple reports, it seems the birds have offered Kelce a new, exciting opportunity.<\/p>\n<h3>A New Chance To Be A Leader<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/eagles-legend-jason-kelce-already-offered-role-within-teams-front-office-after-retiring-this-offseason\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBS Sports<\/a> reported that if Kelce desired, General Manager Howie Roseman would welcome him into a position in his front office. The report said that Roseman thinks Kelce would be good &#8220;at anything in football.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;d be a heck of an evaluator, I&#8217;ve tried to recruit him to come work for me, too, because he can evaluate players.&#8221; One of the most explicit examples of this is when he scouted his replacement, Cam Jurgens, whom the Eagles drafted in 2022. When we were in that draft, I gave him a few centers that we really liked and he came out and said &#8216;I love Cam Jurgens,'&#8221; Roseman said according to <a href=\"https:\/\/syndication-bleacherreport-com.cdn.ampproject.org\/v\/s\/syndication.bleacherreport.com\/amp\/10130200-eagles-gm-howie-roseman-wanted-jason-kelce-to-work-as-team-scout-after-retirement.amp.html?amp_gsa=1&amp;amp_js_v=a9&amp;usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&amp;aoh=17226988282222&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bleacher Report. <\/a>Kelce has gone on record praising Jurgens and his ability at the position.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jason Kelce Talk on Cam Jurgens #philadelphiaeagles #nfl #eagles #yt #sports #football #shortsvideo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sPIrQypgNJ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Roseman isn&#8217;t the only one who would consider Kelce for a job. <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/10130200-eagles-gm-howie-roseman-wanted-jason-kelce-to-work-as-team-scout-after-retirement\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bleacher Report<\/a> also said the Head Coach Nick Sirianni would consider Kelce for a position on his coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jason Kelce can have a space on anything he wants to do on this football team,&#8221; Sirianni said. &#8220;I love him. I&#8217;ll greatly miss him. I can&#8217;t say enough good things about how much he meant to me as a coach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this position could also be a fit for Kelce. The CBS Sports report also noted that even since retiring, Kelce has been a regular at the team&#8217;s practice facility. Offensive tackle Lane Johnson said he could &#8220;most definitely&#8221; see Kelce working with the team in some way.<\/p>\n<h3>How Long Does Kelce Have to Decide?<\/h3>\n<p>However, on the coaching side of things, Kelce may have to decide quicker if he wants to secure a position on the staff. <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut-com.cdn.ampproject.org\/v\/s\/sportsnaut.com\/philadelphia-eagles-head-coach-jason-kelce-response\/amp\/?amp_gsa=1&amp;amp_js_v=a9&amp;usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&amp;aoh=17226996236584&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp;ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsnaut.com%2Fphiladelphia-eagles-head-coach-jason-kelce-response%2F\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sportsnaut<\/a> noted in this situation that Sirianni is very much on the hot seat this season. Much of the blame for last years second half of collapse fell on Sirianni&#8217;s shoulders. If the Eagles fail to make at least a deep postseason run in 2024, that may be the end of Sirianni&#8217;s tenure with the team.<\/p>\n<p>If Sirianni were to depart and a more neutral head coach was brought in, Kelce might lose some favoritism in terms of being giving a head coaching job due to his history with the team. Roseman, on the other hand, probably isn&#8217;t going anywhere anytime soon, so a front office position would likely be open as long as Roseman is with the team.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Kelce will remain a prominent member of NFL media. He will continue his New Heights podcast with brother Travis Kelce, as well as join the Monday Night Countdown crew on ESPN this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Image: Nathan Ray Seebeck &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eagles former center Jason Kelce dominated the trenches for over a decade.
