“I’ll leave if he’s not fired.” Due to their major miscommunication, a key player for the Philadelphia 76ers has stated he will leave the team if his colleague is not dismissed.
TAMPA: Jason Kelce said a lot without saying anything.
Following the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-ending, 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, fans gathered in a semicircle around his locker, eager to hear from the center. However, Kelce graciously declined to speak.
He said, “Sorry, guys, not today.” “Go easy on yourself.”
As he turned to leave, Kelce was on the edge of tears. After making an emotional exit from the field, Kelce retired a few hours later, according to a source.
After the game, Kelce’s teammate since the 2013 draft, right tackle Lane Johnson, stated, “We had a discussion in here.” “He will make an announcement regarding his return or non-return. In the event that it was his final game, he ranks among my all-time best teammates. His passion was unparalleled, and I witnessed Philly attempt to run him out of town two thousand something.
“I witnessed a guy come out of that and possibly develop into the greatest center to have ever played. I had already experienced all of that. A unique participant. You can never find another guy like that.
Jason Kelce announced his retirement following the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-ending loss in Tampa, capping a 13-year, possibly Hall of Fame career.
Jason Kelce announced his retirement following the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-ending loss in Tampa, capping a 13-year, probably Hall of Fame career.
After 13 years of playing, he was just named first-team All-Pro for the sixth time, a feat no other center has accomplished since the merger in 1970. Mike Webster and Dermontti Dawson both have five rings in the Hall of Fame.
He joins Chuck Bednarik and Reggie White as the only other players in franchise history to receive six first-team All-Pro selections.
In addition to winning seven Pro Bowls, Kelce also made 157 consecutive ones starting in the middle of the 2014 campaign.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts said of the player, “He’s a legend in this city, really in the league.” I don’t want to take anything away from him given what he’s accomplished and overcome. It wasn’t an easy path to where he is now. It’s been a very long time coming, and ever since I arrived, I’ve been asking myself, “You gonna come back?” each year.
