It’s an end of an era.

Center Jason Kelce, who spent 13 years with the Eagles, announced his retirement on Monday at a press conference.

He broke down multiple times before making the announcement, and he struggled to get through it.

The news comes as no surprise. He debated retirement a year ago, and his deliberations are memorialized in Kelce, the Amazon documentary of his 2022 season. With another season of wear and tear, it was time.

Kelce, a six-time first-team All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowler, is destined to have a bronze bust in Canton. In the interim, the question becomes what he’ll do next. A broadcasting career seems inevitable.

He entered the league as a sixth-round pick in 2011. He became a starter right away, winning the job in camp during a season that had no offseason workouts, due to the lockout.

Kelce has 193 regular-season appearances, all starts. He also was a member of the Super Bowl LII-winning Eagles. His speech at the championship rally will be remembered as one of the best ever.
