Lost in the shuffle of NFL draft and combine news, is the looming decisions Jason Kelce will make on his playing future. An All-Pro and future Hall of Famer, Kelce has been playing one year at a time since the Eagles Super Bowl season and this offseason he’s closer than ever to stepping away.

Philadelphia coaches and players have been putting on a full-court press with the hopes that Kelce will return and on Wednesday, he addressed his future while guest-hosting the 94WIP Morning Show.

“Fair question. I’ll answer it like this. I’ve answered it like this in the past. I’m playing until I’m not. I’m an active player for the Philadelphia Eagles right now. I love my teammates, I love playing in the city. When it’s time to step away, I’ll make that abundantly clear.”

“I don’t want to announce anything on the radio. I kind of feel like everything is trending in a certain direction but I’m going to make that clear to my teammates and coaches and everything like that first. I will not be announcing that today.”

Kelce and the Eagles will need to agree on a new deal before a June deadline that would pay the center $30 million if a decision isn’t made on his future.
