Saquon Barkley is already trying to recruit Jason Kelce back to the Eagles

Could Saquon Barkley convince Jason Kelce to come back to the Eagles?

Ahead of Wednesday’s newest episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s podcast New Heights, new Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley tried to use his influence to sway Jason Kelce back to the NFL.

After the elder Kelce retired from football this offseason, Barkley proceeded to jump from the New York Giants to the Eagles to chase a championship with the team.

As center play is especially important to a strong running game, Barkley joked that Jason Kelce doesn’t need to just watch how the new-look Eagles will play this upcoming season.

We’re sure, if Jason Kelce ever changed his mind, the Eagles would welcome him back with open arms.

We’re sure Jason Kelce is flattered by Barkley’s attempt to get him back to the NFL, but retirement announcements like Kelce’s usually mean that things are done-done for that football player.

As the former Philly center transitions from the playing field to the stands, we’re sure he’ll be thrilled to watch Barkley playing for his old team on Sundays.

We’ll see if Kelce ever has a change of heart to join him on the gridiron at any point in the future.
