SUMMARY
- Jason Kelce's recent appearance during the Eagles vs. Buccaneers game may have been his last.
- Fans have been trolling the 36-year-old for retiring before LeBron James.
Jason Kelce has gone viral after rumors of a potential retirement surfaced on the internet. The 36-year-old has been a star in the NFL for 13 seasons and his most recent appearance with the Philadelphia Eagles might’ve been his last. The Eagles’ last game of the season resulted in a loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 32-9. And this turned out to be an emotional one for a few fans.
However, Kelce hasn’t officially issued a statement confirming the rumors that are being spread online. During a recent appearance on the New Heights podcast with Travis Kelce, Jason addressed the word around the block. He said, “I didn’t announce what I was doing on purpose despite what’s been leaked to the media. But, you know, I think there’s a lot of.”
He added, “I did address the team and pretty much said the same thing that I just said to you, which is, ‘I got belief in every single one of you guys, cherish the moment you have in this league.’ And you know, a lot of [you] guys [are] like, ‘If that is your last game I feel sorry for you.’ Don’t feel sorry for me motherf**kers.”
Jason Kelce seems to be unfazed by the rumor that’s being circulated on the internet. However, Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer stated that Kelce has decided to retire due to mental fatigue. Jason has not confirmed anything yet, but he surely has a big announcement coming out soon.
Fans believed Jason Kelce was older than LeBron James
Amidst all the rumors and chaos online, fans began trolling Jason Kelce for giving up on his career at the age of 36. Some even compared him to LeBron James, who is currently 39 years old and hasn’t shown any interest in retirement.
One fan said, “Jason Kelce looks older and is retiring sometime soon, I just thought he’d be the same age or older than Bron but it’s not the case.” Another fan said, “I fasho would’ve thought Kelce was older.”

It so happens to be that James and Kelce come from the same part of the country, Ohio. However, James has been far more focused on his legacy. And he aims to fulfill every single one of his dreams before retiring. Jason may have already done what he planned to do.
