The Jason Kelce-Eagles era isn’t over. Yet.

Widespread reports suggested the Philadelphia center had decided to call time on his Hall of Fame career following the Eagles’ disappointing 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Super Wild Card Weekend.

But Kelce denied reports he had made a final decision on his future and would make a proper announcement in due course.

The seven-time Pro Bowler is universally loved around the league and is widely regarded as one of the best centers to ever play in the NFL.

Kelce was asked about his future during an autograph signing session at this year’s Pro Bowl.

One fan said: “Please don’t retire, for the love of football.”

The Eagles center then appeared to reply: “I’m gunna try not to.”

The apex of the 36-year-old’s glistening career came at the end of the 2017 season when he was part of the Eagles team who beat the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII.

As is customary, Kelce received a Super Bowl ring for his part in the victory, however, he somehow managed to lose it.

Jason was seen searching for the lost Super Bowl LII ring in the Amazon Prime Video documentary, Kelce, but didn’t have much success finding it.

Thankfully, he managed to recover it, and revealed how on his New Heights podcast with brother Travis.

At first, Jason’s wife Kylie found the ring in the glove compartment of one of their Tesla cars.

But that wasn’t the end of it as soon after Jason lost the ring for a second time.

He only realised it had been misplaced again after documentary-makers asked him if he had it so they could film him with it.

On his podcast, Jason revealed that often he hides the ring, but in doing so hides it from himself and then he can’t remember where he put it.

He then walks off to get the ring before Travis guesses that it’s either in a sock, shoe, a fanny pack or wrapped in a cloth.

Jason returns holding a bunch of socks up to the camera while saying, “I’m going to have to get another hiding spot.”

“I called it,” Travis said before Jason unfurls the socks and explains why he chose to put the Super Bowl ring there.

Jason says that he once met with a defensive coordinator from a college trying to recruit him who had “won a bunch of Super Bowls,” and whipped “out this like dirty sock and unfolds like four Super Bowl rings out of it.”

“So ever since then, I’ve been waiting to hide my Super Bowl ring in a sock drawer.

Travis Kelce makes brother Jason Kelce walk out of their podcast after Philadelphia Eagles joke
“I’m like, nobody would think that somebody’s gonna hide Super Bowl rings in socks.”

Travis then jokes that the move was straight out of the Kelce playbook by admitting to doing the same on more than one occasion.

“I’ve lost the majority of my jewellery I’ve f***ing put it in a sock and I just leave it in a hotel room or something,” the Chiefs star said.

It remains to be seen what Jason will do next if he does decide to hang up his cleats.
