Posted March 5, 20214 yr This is great news! Kelce announced on IG that he’ll play in 2021. See update at bottom of story. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/05/jason-kelce-restructures-contract-will-be-back-with-eagles/
March 5, 20214 yr Great news indeed! I'm happy to see him back, one of my favorites ever. As I've said before, the OL could be a strength again after last year's disaster. There's tons of depth.
March 5, 20214 yr I was hoping Kelce would be back. I do hope, however, that they groom a center to take over in 2022. I'd hate for the team to not have a backup plan.
March 5, 20214 yr Love the guy, but does it really matter for this pitiful team at this point? Maybe, as alluded to above, he could be useful in grooming the center of the future, if there is one.

He is as smart as OCs come, so that could really help with Hurts' development (helping his reading defenses, calling protections, etc.).
March 5, 20214 yr I love Kelce, and glad for his leadership to be here to help the young guys. I'm surprised, I thought he might bail since it's a rebuild.
March 5, 20214 yr If the OL and DL stay healthy and become dominant again, people will be surprised how good even this weak on paper team is.

A simply healthier team would be a massive improvement, but we still have to deal with the massive amount of cuts necessary to get within the cap.
March 5, 20214 yr WOO HOO! Great news!! Perhaps he knows things we don't and feels good about the team's direction?

March 5, 20214 yr I'm glad he's coming back, all credit to him and means we don't need to necessarily worry about C this year. That said... For Kelce I'd like to see him be traded somewhere like KC. Go play with his brother and for one of the best teams in the NFL. Go try win another ring.
March 5, 20214 yr Glad that he stays for another season. The corner-stone of the OL and in the locker room. He also gave a good account of the OL players. The vets are returning from injuries. The young guys got to play some last season and gained game experience. I thought they are still green and unproven. But Kelce's endorsement on the young ones sounds encouraging.

March 5, 20214 yr Kelce can be an Eagle for life, as far as I'm concerned. For any detractors, in the immortal words of Mr. Kelce, "F*** "EM!!!"
