Daily News | The Jason Kelce brand has limitless opportunities post-Eagles, but it makes retirement more ‘daunting’
Kelce will again take a few weeks to contemplate his future. He said he didn’t think that Sunday’s outcome, when the Eagles face Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs in nearby Glendale, will have any bearing on his decision.
Kelce’s rags to NFL riches story has been oft-told: College walk-on endures multiple position changes, becomes undersized center who gets drafted late, wrestles starting job from incumbent, and battles through injuries and subpar stretches on the way to Super Bowls and the Hall of Fame. Jason has taken the same careful approach to enterprises outside football. His managers are constantly fielding offers in everything from business ventures to sponsorships and product endorsements.
“You worry about it being a distraction,” Kelce said last week. “You worry about it potentially being viewed as something that’s taking away from the team or your preparation.” Long said his advice to his friend and former teammate was to launch it immediately to capitalize on being an active player.

But the artwork on some of the shirts feature Eagles such as Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith, along with one of Long and Johnson in the German shepherd masks they wore during the postseason run five years ago.
As deliberate as Kelce has been about his branding, as hard as he’s worked to become an elite center, there’s a charm to his occasional nonchalance. It’s almost as if he could stumble into success. It’s unlikely he’ll need to work immediately after retiring having made nearly $70 million in his 12-year career.
