Didn’t deserve to go out that way. Great dude, great teammate, great player.
We will miss you Kelce. Thanks for your time!
Thanks for sending him off properly Nick!
The best Eagle of this generation and an amazing human being.
Congratulations Jason. You mean everything to this city. Enjoy all retirement and life have to offer.
My favorite eagle of all time. Thank you for everything, King.
I knew it was coming…
But I wasn’t actually prepared for this…

Not the 7:40 am Schefter tweet I wanted
You knew it was coming. But it doesn’t make it any happier or easier.
Congrats on a great career, Jason.
There it is. We knew it was coming but man that just makes today even worse. Enjoy retirement big guy, you were a legend.
Glad he got his ring
What’s everyone’s favorite flavor of Kool Aid?
Thanks for everything Jason. A Philly legend. The best center of all time.
Sucks it had to end this way.
Fuck.
Great career. Deserved a better sendoff.
I’ll never, NEVER forgive this coaching staff for ruining this man’s final year. What a disgrace.
Thank you for EVERYTHING Jason. My favorite Eagle ever. You’ll be so incredibly missed.
An All-Time Eagle. Good luck with everything, Jason!
As for the Eagles, I’m excited to see Jurgens take over at Center. I think he’s going to fill in nicely. It’ll be impossible to fill Kelce’s shoes, but he was basically handpicked by Jason himself.
Why can’t people let him post it first. Stupid world today. Kelce will be greatly missed. Didn’t really start to appreciate him until recent years.
HOF
It’s a shame but it’s probably the best decision for him
Thanks for everything Jason.
I hate Nick for ruining Kelce’s last ride. Fuck Nick, Fuck Brian Johnson and fuck Matt Patricia in the asses with hot pokers. Get them all out.
Great player and a great person. Philly will always be his home and can’t wait to see him in Canton.
Next stop, Canton.
You can rest now…. we won’t be okay.
Also, Nick Siriannis legacy will forever be ruining Jason Kelces final season. Get that bum out of Philly.
Enshrined in his home state, SB champ, got to play his bro in SB. Great stuff.
I know it’s easy to focus on how shitty of a send off this is, but let’s try to focus on the impact he’s had on this franchise. Truly one of the greats!
This one hurts the most , only thing that hurts from last night honestly, I’m only in my early 20s, swear he was on the team my whole life though. Thank you for everything you brought to Philly Jason, the Super Bowl, the millions of dollars in charity work you do every year. You’ll never buy another beer in Philly again 😕🦅
Kelce for HC. Let’s do it.
Fuck this coaching staff for wasting his last season like this.
Thank you for everything, legend. No Eagles fan will ever forget you.
Wishing the very best in his post retirement life and media career. One of our franchise cornerstones and a genuinely great human being
The post Super-Bowl victory speech is forever an iconic moment in Eagles history. A lot of us spent most of our Eagles fandom seeing him at center. Really wish he retired after a better run, but I guess life ain’t a disney movie. Hope he comes back as a coach!
But this hurts (no pun intended)
I knew he was gonna do it but it sucks having to hear it man. What a fantastic player one of the goats of the nfl
Fuck you Sirianni
What a way to go out… 😢. Gotta wash out this last season and remember the entire journey he’s been on for us
Really puts into context what they accomplished in 2017. Glad they climbed the mountain at least once
The light has gone out of my life
I think that’s what he told Stout and then came that deer in headlights look
I hope he told the entire locker room how much they let him down
I hope Nick finds out his children aren’t his
Welp, I’m gonna cry.
This guy will never have to buy a drink in this town again…
I’m sad
I never feel the same way about a center again.
BG says he never announced to the team he was retiring. Kelce said he’s got a lot to think about.
Edit: grammar
He’s an absolute legend, no doubt hall of famer. He has had an incredible career. Good luck to him going forward.
We’ll always have his Superbowl parade speech. A Hall of Famer I think and for many of us, our favorite Eagle of all time.
Gonna buy a 62 jersey and just cry into it.
Fwiw, Brandon Graham on WIP saying that Kelce did NOT make any sort of announcement last night. He just told the team he will be “thinking about it” during the off season.

At least he got his ring. Thank you Nick Foles!
If anyone needs me I’ll be crying all day.
