Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledges that the Philadelphia Eagles will have to replace an all-time great in the NFL this offseason due to Jason Kelce’s retirement.
After losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 13th season, Kelce, 36, made the decision to terminate his illustrious football career earlier this month.
He leaves as one of the most significant players in Eagles history, having contributed significantly to the team’s first and only Super Bowl victory in 2018 and their first trip to the game’s main event five years later.
An emotional Kelce broke down in tears during a tearful parting address in Philadelphia, where Sirianni and family members were present.
The good news is that these players have known Jason for three, four, five, six, or seven years. As a result, we’ll see who steps in for him at center and who steps in for right guard.
However, I am aware that we have several strong pieces. Two of our guys, Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson, have been professional bowlers for a long time. They have been for the past few years.
“We’ll see how the rest of it plays out, but Jordan Mailata played a lot of good football and Cam Jurgens got a lot of good minutes last year.”
Inquiries concerning the potential of Tyler Steen, who was selected by the Eagles in the third round of the previous NFL Draft, were also directed to Sirianni.
