Jason Kelce said he was disappointed in the timing of his retirement, especially considering the recent troubles the Philadelphia Eagles had faced. Jason bemoaned the Eagles’ dramatic collapse on the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, after the team had a bright start to the campaign.
“The one thing I’m disappointed about retiring right now is I’m retiring during the Eagles had potentially the biggest collapse in the organization’s history,” he said, reflecting on their sudden collapse. Not conceivably, most likely.
The Eagles have lost six of their previous seven games, including a heartbreaking playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Kelce pointed out.
He cites the team’s talent and the addition of new coaches who will provide new insights as reasons for his optimism despite this setback.
Even though he was aware of the difficulties that were ahead, such as the gap that his retirement will leave and the probable loss of veteran defensive player Fletcher Cox, Kelce still had faith in the Eagles’ management to take care of business and implement the required changes.
“There’s plenty of cap space,” he said. Howie (Roseman) will take some action to enhance the items that require repair.
The Eagles’ expectations for the forthcoming season have been decreased and they are facing uncertainty.
In spite of this, Kelce has faith in his former colleagues’ capacity to recover and mount a formidable comeback. He’s still determined to help the squad in any way he can, even if he won’t be playing alongside them on the field.
“I just truly believe there is going to be one hell of a bounce back from the Philadelphia Eagles next year,” he said in closing. Even from a distance, I can definitely appreciate it.
