Jason Kelce scheduled a press conference for Monday afternoon, and the Eagles All-Pro center has announced his retirement from the NFL.
Following Philadelphia’s wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter reported that Kelce had expressed his plans to retire to teammates.
Kelce addressed his future during the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl media sessions, stating that he’d announce it in the coming weeks.
No Keg videos this year, I have come to a decision and will address it at a press conference this afternoon.

A sixth-round draft pick out of the University of Cincinnati in 2011, Kelce started and played in 193 games over his 13 seasons.
Jason Kelce is the fifth center in NFL history with at least six All-Pro selections. The other four — Jim Otto, Bulldog Turner, Dermotti Dawson, and Jim Ringo — are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
