Eagles’ legend Jason Kelce held a press conference on Monday afternoon, offering remarks only and not opening the floor to questions, to announce his official decision to retire from the NFL.
The decision comes after nearly two months of speculation as to what Kelce’s future held. Immediately following the Eagles loss to the Bucs in the playoffs, reports surfaced that the veteran center informed teammates that he planned to retire from the NFL.
Kelce admitted he was irritated that the news leaked, and said he didn’t feel like making that decision following such an emotional loss was appropriate.
