Jason Kelce said Friday that winning another Super Bowl won’t affect his decision whether to return in 2023 for a 13th season with the Eagles, which only six players have reached — only Harold Carmichael, Brian Dawkins and Brandon Graham since 1960.
“From everything I’ve been told about when you know it’s time to retire or not, you just know when you know, and it’s going to be when you don’t want to play football anymore,” he said.
“And I don’t think that winning this game is going to determine whether I want to continue to play football or not.”
Kelce recalled a conversation with legendary offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland about retirement when he first started considering stepping away from the game.
“I remember talking to Stout maybe two years ago, and I was like, I don’t know when that time’s going to come or how I’m going to know when to stop,” Kelce said.
“And he’s like, ‘You’ll know. You won’t want to do it anymore.
“And I said, ‘I don’t think that’s ever going to happen and he’s like, ‘No, it’ll happen. Trust me, it’ll happen.'”
