Jason Kelce’s Former Eagles Teammate Says He’s Been at Team Building ‘Almost Every Day’ Since Retiring

Jason Kelce is still playing for his former team after retiring two months ago.

The former Philadelphia Eagles player, 36, has visited the team’s facility “almost every day” since his retirement in March, former teammate Jake Elliott said in a new interview on Friday, May 10.

Speaking on the NFL Network show Full accessElliott, 29, revealed that Kelce and Fletcher Cox, who also retired from the Eagles in March, made regular appearances in support of the players.

“You see little hints of them all over the locker room now,” Elliott said. “They’ve made a huge impact that will last a long time and those guys won’t be far away. I know Kelce has already been in the building almost every day, so he’s always going to be a big part of our organization.”

Discussing the two’s impact on the team since their departures, the Eagles player also said, “I think it’s always going to be impossible to replace guys like Kelce and Fletch, so we’re definitely sad to see them go.”

Elliott also talked about Kelce and Cox, 33, and the “crumbs they left behind” in terms of wisdom and “leadership roles they passed on to other guys.”

When asked if he knew if Jason would ever reconsider his retirement, Elliott replied: “That’s not my deal – you can talk to Jason about that!”

That same month, he revealed on his podcast, New heights with Jason and Travis Kelcethat he still goes to the Eagles practice facility to “have a couple of weight training sessions.”
