Jason Kelce wants to remain with the Philadelphia Eagles – even if he calls time on his playing career after this season.
The 36-year-old is still undecided as to whether to retire following the 2023 season, telling DailyMail.com he will find it hard to walk away after watching his brother Travis reach another Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
Kelce has spent his entire NFL career in Philadelphia and the center is determined that the ‘incredibly disappointing’ 2023 season is not his last with the franchise.
‘I don’t know what’s going to happen for me,’ Kelce told The Inquirer. ‘But I do know, I still want to be involved in the organization and still want to be a part of it, regardless of what the decision is.
‘Because I don’t want to ever feel like I’m on the outside looking in on these achievements, accolades and opportunities that largely represent entire cities and fan bases and organizations. It’s too good a feeling to pass up.’

He added: ‘I really, really look forward to next year. I look forward to trying to prove people wrong, especially with some of the recent hires and (Head Coach) Nick Sirianni… you always look forward to go into battle with your guys.’
Kelce has confirmed he will be in Vegas next week, when Travis and the Chiefs will play in a fourth Super Bowl in five years.
‘Hopefully him and Pat (Mahomes) and (coach) Andy (Reid) and those guys can get the third one,’ he said. ‘And if it isn’t on the cards, hopefully blackjack is on the cards for me.’
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com on the field of M&T Bank Stadium, Jason heaped praise on Travis after he made NFL history as Kansas City beat the Ravens 17-10.

Taylor Swift was alongside Jason in the stands at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sunday
The Philadelphia Eagles center watched from the stands alongside Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift as the tight end made 11 receptions and scored one touchdown in a rarefied atmosphere in Baltimore.
The two brothers embraced on the field afterwards, with Jason telling Travis to ‘finish this mother***er’.
‘Whenever you’re around this atmosphere, man, it’s really hard to not want to continue doing this,’ Jason told DailyMail.com.
‘The game continues to be difficult to play – selfishly, physically. It’s a grueling sport and it has its problems with trying to play it the older you get… (but) it’s hard. It’s really hard. I’ll be honest with you.’
